I am not worried I will make it through it. I have always found a way and will always find a way.
I worry my wife will not. She is disposed to giving up, she is not resilient, and is often modern day depressed when things are tough.
It is my job to see her through the storm, but I worry that she will take the exit on her own if my vigilance drops even for a second, or even with my vigilance, my eyes are turned elsewhere even briefly.
I understand what you are saying as I'm in a similar boat. I pray she surprises you when the true reality sets in and becomes a pillar of strength for you and your family.
that's rough, reminds me of the movie/book The Road. Wife couldn't handle the new reality. Our buddy that is bugging out to our house if stuff gets rough is in the same boat. His wife will not face reality and has already expressed that she doesn't want to survive in that world. She is also on anti-depressants and other medication. It is hard to think about a future like that when your spouse has already given up.
But maybe it is the clown world we are living in that has them depressed... maybe if there was no more social media and big pharma, when all of your time and energy is going to eating and surviving, maybe the natural human urge to survive will take over.
