I have been seriously ill for about 15 years (GAD, panic, insomnia, depression)and this has taken a terrible toll on my whole family. Two important things have been missing from our lives--joy and laughter. My two daughters have now graduated from university and have moved away. My wife just went on our "family holiday" with my eldest daughter who is home for a couple of weeks. I could not go along because I was feeling too ill. I am not very hopeful that I will ever recover, and am now wondering if the best thing I can do for my wife is to leave and let her enjoy her retirement without having to deal with me on a daily basis. It's bad enough that I suffer constantly. Why not give my wife a chance at happiness? Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
