Thanks Anne-Marie, for the encouragement. I do know that Gordon is depressed and he's on Prozac and Mirtazapine, neither of which seem to be working very well, if at all. We've lost faith in his shrink, who seems to be stuck on Prozac, so we're going to the family Dr. to see about trying something else. It is heart-breaking to see someone you love feeling this way and not be able to do anything about it. As you did with your son, sometimes I just sit beside Gordon and put my arms around him because there's really nothing else I can do. I've given up saying it will get better, because neither of us know when and how much the situation will improve. And he usually just says "when?" and to that I have no answer.
Anne
