I do feel for you sweetheart. I know you are being upbeat about it, but, I know how oyu feel deep down.

I have this every bloody weekend! DH works away mon- fri.
he was supposed to be home with us, friday night, for 2 weeks. Is on call, and was low and behold, called out friday afternoon at half 2.... He didn't manage to get it all sorted until yesterday evening. he arrived home at 23:37

So, today, we have rushed around kingston, along with 3 billion other people, and Foxinsocks, getting bad new about her little sister, it turns out

Still you are right, I had to just feel pleased in the end that he was ACTUALLY coming home I genuinely was though. I didnt believe until I saw him.

I do hope he's back before the children get up! and father christmas comes after he's home...

have a lovely lovely christmas, together. good luck and you HAVE to say what time he gets in now!

He rang earlier and said he was feeling depressed and hadn't told me he had been feeling quite bad for a couple of days

I'm now just worried about him now

I hope he comes so I can be there for him but will understand if he feels he can't

he was still at home but he was saying that he was going to get something to eat and then leave
He hasn't actually said that he isn't coming.....

Well I will keep everything crossed for you!

Maybe you will wake up in the morning and he will be there. At least the traffic wont be so bad!

WhenScoobyGotStuckUpTheChimney · 24/12/2007 23:44

I am sure he will come, it would be pretty sad for him not too, he may feel more happier when he arrives & see's the kids enjoying themselves.

I hope he does come

thanks scooby, I hope so too
You're right, he will feel better seeing the kids having fun but I can see how he could feel that the drive is too much for him

Sorry to ask but has he suffered before?

WhenScoobyGotStuckUpTheChimney · 24/12/2007 23:50

It is a hell of a journey 7hrs you say? we have just come back from PIL & that is 3hrs & more than enough for me but once you get going you feel better, once hes there he can chill & enjoy himself, when are you all due to go home?

TrinityTheRedNosedRhino · 24/12/2007 23:52

no problem about asking
Personally I think he has been on and off for a couple of years brought on by stress
this is the first time that he has told me that he feels depressed and angry

before I could just tell and he didn't actually voice it

I have struggled on and off for years with depression

I was staying with the kids until the new year but he was going to stay until he felt that he needed to get back to work (which would have been before us)

LilRedMummyGiraffe · 26/12/2007 18:29

Just caught up on your Trinity. I'm glad that he made it and hope you all had a lovely Christmas. And good on your DH for admitting his depression. xx

susiecutiemincepies · 28/12/2007 16:43

SO pleased for you trinity!!! Your DH and mine could be the same person {wink] He does that often... I get a phone call, and think its him saying he's not coming, or some other reason... then he's knocking on the door. Always such a bloody relief! I truly thought I'd be having christmas with out him this year. He too suffers depression, his way of dealing with it is to switch off from the world and me and DD... its so very hard, and sad, and i just want to help him and be there for him. impossible when he wont talk...

Anyway, I'm just pleased he got there to be with you all. Hope you had a wonderful christmas.
