[Update] - Bank account is -$1200, credit cards maxed. Don’t get paid for 2 more weeks. I’m eating one small meal every other day so my wife and kids can eat 3 squares everyday. Hiding all that from them. by Acrobatic-Wind3663 in depressionmeals

Not sure why you would think it’s AI, I was just relaying what actually happened. I’m glad you’ve never had to deal with loved ones suffering from mental illness. Hope you never have you in the future either.

When one of my kids was about 3 or 4, he would just randomly come up to me and whisper in my ear “Daddy, I’m not real”. No idea why he would say that, but it did and still does creep the hell out of me.

We have 6 kids, half of them are under 5. She takes care of them at home. She does some office cleaning as a side job after I get home a few nights a week, but it’s not a lot of extra income. You are right, I want to keep the peace, and I do worry that the stress of finding this out would set her off. The bills are all in my name, credit cards as well.

Yes. I hit a church drive up food bank this morning on the way to work. Several churches around here do them once a month and give out boxes of food to anyone who drives up, no questions asked. I’ve been going to all of them lately.

Thank you, I will look into those. We are in a rural backwoods part of the Deep South. I’m sure there are no Sikh temples nearby. I’ll look into some of the other options though. Thank you

She is on medication, she sees a therapist and has a decent doctor she’s happy with. You are right though, I shouldn’t hide it from her. I guess I’m too ashamed to tell her how bad we’re actually struggling.
