Thanks Rapunzel,

I LOVE being a caretaker! Absolutely...but I do not want to be a caretaker for my partner. Definitely not. Just babies and my cats... and my garden...

About whether there is something I get out of my bf being depressed... my therapist and I did go through that over several sessions. I could never really come up with anything, except a few ideas that were kind of a stretch.

I'll give it some thought though on my lonnnngggg flight to the east coast. Leaving now. Logging off. Over and out!

Thanks R - you're a good pal - thanks for being honest with me, I appreciate that!
LMo

We are ALL going to be a-ok!
