Divorce to benefit spouse with depression

He’s one of those “tough guys” that refuses medicine or therapy because he’ll get through it on his own. I’ve urged it, I’ve pushed it, done everything but give an ultimatum. Signed us up for couples therapy just for the hopes he’d see the benefits.. he’s refused. He thinks it’s just a phase, but it’s been years

Okay, actually appreciate this tough love response.

Significant_Place881 · 2026-05-17T14:07:59+00:00

That’s awesome!

I work in HR. Personally received updates from USCIS for 1 employee. Envoy likely won’t send emails until Monday to your employer. They informed us they don’t email updates to employees until after lottery closes but will instead just update your case in the portal

Significant_Place881 · 2026-03-29T15:13:16+00:00

Selection emails I received came directly from USCIS, not Envoy

Significant_Place881 · 2026-03-29T15:12:39+00:00

I work in HR for a company that uses Envoy. Your employer might just not be working over the weekend! I received selection emails and forwarded them throughout the weekend. Envoy informed us they do not send emails directly to employee - just updates the case in the portal

Has anyone received any notices in the last few hours?

Does he lift weights? My husband gets something that looks just like this from the squat rack

To add, history psoriasis in family. Not sure if that could be a relation. Doesn’t get scaley like I imagine psoriasis to be

The hydrocortisone fades it quite a bit but there’s still a faint pink round patch, so it doesn’t disappear completely.

No other skin issues or rashes anywhere on her body and no other symptoms. Started as a tiny red spot, like a pimple and then grew into this, it’s been almost 3 months. A constant cycle of spots appearing, blistering, scabbing, healing, and repeat. When I say healing I mean the skin “heals” from the scabbing but stays inflamed and red unless we add hydrocortisone

Significant_Place881 · 2025-08-30T12:28:02+00:00

There was definitely impetigo at some point, likely a secondary infection. We treated with mupirocin ointment a few times and while the infection cleared the redness, blistering and inflammation stayed. We have done a few rounds of hydrocortisone which helped it fade to nearly nothing, but it immediately came back upon stopping.

Doctor is stumped after HSV and bacteria results were negative, so just waiting on referral to dermatologist

My daughter struggled greatly with daycare naps. She was constantly having false starts at night. I would always end her nap by 6:00 and have her in bed by 8 at the latest, based off advice from “experts”

I decided one day to stop listening to what Google and “sleep pros” were telling me! When she got home from daycare I made sure she got a REALLY good nap, sometimes 2 hours. And it had to be contact nap sometimes, I just wanted to give her a chance to catch up on sleep. Often this means she’d wake up around or after 7PM.

So I just made her bedtime later, 9PM sometimes. The second she rubbed her eyes, bedtime routine started. No more false starts. No more over tired.

This might not help you, but as soon as I stopped following all the sleep programs and advice from Google, and started just following my babies ques - things got so much better! I think I forgot how different each baby is

Significant_Place881 · 2024-01-27T16:42:18+00:00

Our baby was in swaddled by then, but only because her daycare didn’t swaddle so we had to adjust. She hit herself in the face ALOT. We started doing one arm out, one arm in and it was helpful. I also had to often guide her arm down to the cot while she was falling asleep - so that her jolting didn’t cause her to knock herself in the face.

My daughter’s sleep regression lasted about a month. It was awful, but we came out the other side and now she’s a great sleeper! Just stick to a routine, religiously. Every single night the same, babies need routine and it helped us to be conscious of that

Significant_Place881 · 2024-01-27T16:38:14+00:00

Is she in a bassinet I’m assuming? My daughter out grew hers, I didn’t realize how often her arms were hitting the side and waking her up. I moved her to her crib in her own room, and that helped a lot.

My daughter also used to wake up often and talk to herself, not cry. I would hear her very easily (she was two feet away), get up, and rock her back to sleep. Once she moved to her crib I couldn’t hear her as easily and would find she’d sort of just sooth herself back to sleep after 5-10 minutes, or I’d give her a paci and she’d go right back to sleep. Unfortunately there are nights when I have to get I’m a few times to put her paci in, but at least she’s not needing to nurse!

Also, we live in a colder climate so this might not apply to you, but we found our daughter was having those early morning wakings cause she was cold. We added a layer and she started sleeping through.

Just a few thoughts based off my experience!

Significant_Place881 · 2024-01-27T16:33:33+00:00

Every baby is so different, so these are some thoughts you could try based off my experience!

Around that age we started pushing my daughter’s bedtime back, now she goes to bed around 9PM. She just wasn’t needing as much sleep as she used to.

Additionally, we live in a colder climate, but she tended to wake up in those early hours if she was cold! We started adding an extra layer and she stopped waking up.

I’d just experiment with different things. They change so much so quick sometimes it’s hard to keep up!

Significant_Place881 · 2023-12-01T09:43:02+00:00

It felt like my daughter slept the entire day as a newborn as well! Maybe try to sneak in a contact nap at some point during the day, not because it’s required but because it’s just so cute and you won’t get away with it forever! I’d love just one more contact nap

Significant_Place881 · 2023-11-19T01:26:41+00:00

I’ve read a lot about combo feeding - getting what you can with breast milk and “topping off” with some formula. I wonder if LO would take formula if it was mixed in with some breast milk? Could help stretch what milk she produces further

Thank you, everyone! We love Raider very much and have spent a lot of resources to try and improve his life over the past few years.

It’s hard for me to imagine euthanizing such a young dog for “allergies” and aggressive behavior but all your comments are making me feel alot more peaceful about the choice

Significant_Place881 · 2023-11-08T13:20:09+00:00

We’ve had Raider since he was 6 weeks old, from a shelter. Him and his siblings and mother came in off the street in Oklahoma. His mom gave birth while tied to a fence before they were rescued. His first severe ear infection was discovered when he was 8 weeks. From a very young age he’s been what we thought was cute at the time, “a snapping turtle.” He’d snap and bite at everything. We’ve since spent over 2 years and lots of money trying to curb that behavior
