it feels like it's all falling apart

My wife and I are so dysfunctional. We have no friends, just therapists. She doesn't have a job and hasn't in years, which was ok for a while but she just finished a certificate program and now she needs to get one. We're both so depressed. We don't have sex b/c of my childhood abuse and we are so alienated from each other, and to be honest, everything. Our six year old son is in therapy. I'm at work, but I'm in getting through the day mode. Our house is a wall of clutter.

I'm so scared.

They did.

Do you have savings that you could go on a 10 day to two week all inclusive vacation ? It would bring you both so much clarity. I should have done this 1.5 years ago. I can’t walk well now need to wait. I went through hard things in 2009 I went away on vacation like that between major surgeries it saved my mental health & x husbands. It’s awesome to not need to be anywhere at anytime splash around eat when you want not look for it. It’s not a bandaid it’s a mind vacation as you’re overwhelmed. I used to go to Mexico in summer like that. & when you’re out there you can chill then later in the holiday decide what’s important a common goal. And when you’re happy you’ll meet people if you open up. Maybe a few drinks will help too lol ! And you might find comfort in each other’s arms again. Being kind again
