I would say that she suffers from depression, too.
When I was engaged to my ex-husband, he begged me to try to re-form the relationship, so I sent a Thanksgiving Day greeting card, 'cause that's the time of year it was... For Christmas, I received a giant box wrapped in brown paper. When I opened it up, there were a bunch of individually wrapped boxes. As I opened them, I realized that she had sent me back every gift I had ever given her for birthdays and Christmas, still in their original boxes. That's how much I meant to her...
Even my now ex-husband said she was a cruel, crazy woman and that I had given it my best shot and I was allowed to give up on ever having a normal relationship with her.
And then, about five years ago, she sent a Christmas gift through her sister and my cousin. It was the Feeling Good book. And basically the card she sent with it said that it helped her and that obviously I had mis-perceived our entire relationship and when I "get over it", feel free to contact her..... As if...
So, yes, she has admitted to suffering from depression just by saying the book helped her... although everything in the book says to "move on", "forget about the past", et cetera... Well, of course it helped HER... it lets her off the hook to ever make amends for anything. Personally, I believe relationships can only exist when people are honest... right down to admitting when they are wrong!!! Otherwise, it's superficial and what's the point...
