My leukemia's back.

Take care Phil. Not easy when a loved one is depressed. It can suck all the air out of a room! When I'm faced with a belligerent teen, the best medicine for me is to get outside, breathe some fresh air, visit with my chickens and gardens, and shovel some sh*t!

We got the final court approval on Echo, to be his legal guardians. I'm so happy I'm crying.....he's such a great kid and I feel so blessed the Lord put him in our lives.

to be honest with you Eggs...I went through a clinical depression in 1988.....it was the worst thing I ever went through...worse than the leukemia I guess I can say that cuz I made it through the leukemia....but yeah depression is rough...I'm a depressive person so when my wife goes bad...it feeds mine too....but hey I got you guys now anyways.....Thank you all...seriously I mean it....Phil

Phil, you have found the right place. We've got your back. The Princess, our daughter, and our grand daughter have all been diagnosed with depression (the majority of my wife's family deal with anxiety and/of depression). It is scary as hell when you can not 'reach' the person who is the most important thing in the world to you. Been there/done that - thankfully medication has everything under control. I understand.
