I am husband who needs advice. my wife was recently diagnosed with mild clinical depression and is on antidepressants. I think she kept having these episodes since the birth of our second child 3 years ago when she would either just function through the day without talking to anyone or sometimes just stay in bed scrolling her phone, not talking to anyone, ignoring calls/messages from people. She also started letting go of her personal appearance. sometimes she would even skip brushing her teeth. (she drinks a lot of water so her breath never smells though). However, now she is doing her best to get back to her previous self, exercising, trying to stay away from triggers etc. She has expressed to me that being with my family is a ‘trigger’ for her and that their perfect life causes her to sink into a depressive state. She has explicitly told me that she doesn’t want to visit them ever but is totally ok with me visiting them with our kids. Our kids love visiting them and their cousins. How should I react, I am really sad to have the family permanently split into two like this and spending time with my sister’s family & my mom without her doesn’t seem like a good idea, esp since I can’t really share her thoughts with them. At the same time, I want to support her and be there for her. What would you advise?
