Depression is a scary deadly disease. It makes you think those around you including your own kids would be better off with out you. If you have an unsupportive spouse that makes you feel the same way it can be hard at times to fight though it and hold on. I've had friends and family that have ended it and in doing so transferred their pain to those around them. Crappy deal and hard to understand unless you've faced severe depression yourself. I can tell you that having extreme chronic pain that has kept me awake for weeks at a time has put me in some bad places. I fight for my kids the same way I would if I was defending them personally.
