Husbands depressed- making me feel very bad, how do I cope?
He is depressed due to his health problems so has went to live away at his family house to see I’ll things get better.
We have two young children. I’m not sure how to cope and feel so bad and stressed.
How do you cope with someone who has depression, and how do you stop it from getting it while seeing a loved one suffer?

@Ella my mother in law suggested that we should stay at hers for a few days so it freshens his mind as he has siblings he has laughs with. He also stayed there for a few nights. But I don’t know how comfortable I am with this. Said we can stay for one night but she’s pressurising me to stay for a week. I feel like this might be more stressful as the routine and everything will change
Ahh tricky. But it would be good for the kids to spend that time with their dad. Does MIL really have room for everyone to stay comfortably? Can you go over, and see how you go? If it's really stressful, leave on day 2, but if it's okay, stay a few nights?

You've posted a lot. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. You need to focus on YOU and the kids and what you CAN control. Take things one day at a time. Be kind to yourself and the kids.
