[quote=Anonymous]i was in your shoes, except the issue was addiction and not depression. My therapist finally convinced me that I was teaching him he could do whatever he wanted when I kept begging him to get help, kicking him out temporarily and then going back with him after things were better for a few days. Finally I told him that he needed to move out for at least three months while we figured out what to do.

I learned in those three months that I was so much happier without him around dragging me down every day. I didn't even realize what a shell of myself I had become living with him until he was gone.

It was hard, there were times I considered taking him back. We went on some "dates" while he was gone and saw each other. But the choice became clear. And yet I still mourned for a long time -- over a year -- for the loss of what could have been if he would have just gotten help and been the person I fell in love with. That's part of the normal process.

But I'm much better off and so are my kids with him gone, even though it's been so painful for them. I would do anything to go back and get out before I had kids and put them through this as well. [/quote]
