Anthony, DEPRESSION IS AN ILLNESS NOT A CHARACTER FLAW. No one chooses to have this. You did not kill a part of her. She is an adult who has made choices, who could have had help with her distress at any point in your relationship.
She may indeed need some time for herself right now. But maybe you do too. You may not have a choice about your illness but you do have other choices. You can choose not to accept that ticket for a guilt trip she has tried to hand you. You can choose to contest the divorce. You can choose to keep breathing for one more minute, one more hour, one more day.
Please try to remember that today is not forever.
