My old thread locked.....

H is definitely in depression/withdrawal stage.

He is not making much contact with me.

When he had the kids the last two days, both said that he left them at home for hours at a time. He appears sluggish and preoccupied.

The baby told me that "daddy is really crabby and mean".

His world is crashing down on him.

He is miserable.

He is not picking up the stuff he wanted from the house.

Trusting have you tried recently to have any kind of talks with h such as showing your support like, h you seem depressed or down is their anything I can do to help?

If he is open to seeing a Dr could you say h would you like me to make an appointment with Dr so and so, I think you should go in and talk with him or her on how you are feeling. Maybe their is something the Dr can help you with?

You look really tired this week h is their something I can help you with or I can take the kids these 2 days instead if you need the rest.

Showing some compassion for how he might be feeling. Do you think he is in depression and needs to seek medical attention? Would he be open to that?

Just some suggestions. It seems like he might just need a friend. You could just be that friend!

Good suggestions Glam, I will try something like that when I see him next. He has been staying away though.

I think mine is very depressed. But I think he is still in the replay stage.

Ex told the kids he was going to the Kentucky Derby this weekend.

The Kentucky Derby was held May 3 .........

Lies Lies and more Lies...

The lies are what are hard. Difficult to understand! I believe they stem from a lack of self esteem. Maybe your h needs to make his life sound exciting to his children.

Remember he chose this life, now he needs to show that it's a great life!

It's extremely difficult for a man to show his weaker side. It might help your sitch by encouraging your h and try building up his self esteem.

It is hard to pin exactly where our H are at
they seem to cycle a lot
My H also seems very withdrawn this weekend
I liked Glams Ideas
I told H he looks so shutdown
I suggested he get some help
He told me to get help
I said I already have gotton lots of help
he said nothing
peace

Trusting,

H might not have been lying intentionally about Kentucky Derby. My W is so out of it at times she mentions going to events that have already taken place or are a couple of weeks off in the future.
