In my persoanl experience nothing causes more stress on relationships than financial concerns. I will think happy thoughts for you!

Welcome Billy and a big howdy from Texas! I know where you are coming from I too have bouts of depression but I'm just coming out of a relationship that he was worse than I could ever imagine to be. I'm taking one day at a time and leaning heavily on friends here at TBD and other friends I have had for years.

Welcome! Sorry for all you are going through. Seek counseling from friends, others who have experienced similar situations and professionals. all have helped me cope with dramatic life changes. good luck to you and welcome.

My heart goes out to you. I was in a similar situation and want to urge you to take care of yourself. Yes, in theory a friendship with her might be nice (that's what my ex told me, too), but it can prolong your own pain and sadness.

I hope you experience laughter and happiness soon.

Sorry Billy I hope things get better! WE are all friends here!

I really hope things work out for you. I know what it's like to be depressed and to deal with someone else in depression. Been through the money problems too and you know what.. it always works itself out. Just don't give up. :)
