Hi Purgatory

Great advice from Ellen.

You definitely sound like you can see the depression and the influence it has on him. But not like a spell or magic - this is something that he is living with and only when he recognises that he needs help will it start to change. For all that we want them to be, to wake up from - it does not happen that way.

Take this time to look after yourself. Is there someone that you can talk with? A counsellor, good friend, family member?
