You know where I got that from, though, right? Idk how to link YouTube videos but for anyone who doesn’t recognize “The world is a vampire.” It’s the opening line to a Smashing Pumpkins song. I was raised in the 90s and grew up on angsty rock. Obv the lyrics still speak to me lol.

My oldest turned 18 recently.

That’s what I did - community college and then university while living with my parents. It’s honestly the most fiscally responsible you can do.

I was asking because I thought maybe he would be away from her physically soon anyways but I see that’s not the case.

Does this girl have a plan? Is she also in high school? Is she planning on going to community college too? She can’t stay with you forever :(

How do you help a depressed spouse?

It's good to hear that he has scheduled an appointment - that's a bold move and I give him kudos.
I'm glad you like the poem. Surprised you have not read it, considering it's popularity. All the same, i'm glad to have brought it to you.
May both of your spirits be at peace and relatively happy.

I wrote a super controversial post a long time ago on the original help about how I hate poetry. Got a bunch of backlash so I still remember it lol. But I very much avoid poetry in general.

Thank you 😊

I'm glad to hear that he's going to try to get help. He's doing that because he loves YOU

I guess my post really doesn't apply to yours, with the exception that I think that some of the issues listed that my husb had/has is, I think, possibly due to depression....

He is definitely doing this because he loves me ❤️ and yeah, my husband and yours seem pretty different but the depression is definitely the same. What stood out to me about your situation, though, is that I relate to you personally in your post. I think I would have reacted the same way as you.

guys have a huge slump when it comes to defeats. If its been over a year.. yea.. there's gonna be a spark that needs to be ignited.

what is it? .. i dont have one in mind right now.. but i'll leave it up to the forum.

I’m hoping a psychiatrist can help him find that spark
