Mulesqb still getting kicked in the a$$

Update - Her Dad just called me. He is very concerned and started seeing his own therapist over the sitch. He is 71 years old and very close with my W. He said that he can't sit back and do nothing anymore. He said he has observed too many things with my W and her behavior. He said that he can't believe the way she treats the kids and he is very worried about me with all the weight I have lost. He said he has great admiration for me with how I have dealt with this and will never forget how I have stood by his daughter when anyone else he knows would have ran. He said he doesn't know how I deal with this 24/7 as he can't take it seeing or talking to her just once or twice a week. He said he loves me like a son - no In-Law. (Again I got choked up).

Apparently they have a friend whose daughter went through a very similar thing (she had a PA and took a bottle of sleeping pills, lost 45 pounds but had a very similar plight as my W - kids, husband, etc..).

Their friends brought their daughter to a psychiatric hospital in the county. She was evaluated and treated for clinical depression and they found that she was lacking some type of brain hormone. She ended up staying at the hospital for a month. She now takes 2 pills a day and will for the rest of her life. She is now 100% better. My MIL and FIL are convinced my W needs to be evaluated at the very least, for depression.

He is going to talk to my W on Monday and demand that she gets evaluated. He is going to tell her that he is now going to counseling and feels that he has to try and do something. He is going to ask her to do it for him. He already made an appointment for her. I told him what I know about MLC and pointed him to some websites and how experts feel you should deal with it. That you can't fix it and that she has to get through it herself. When I look on this site I think my W is in either stage 5 or stage 6 phase one. He said he understood but just can't sit back anymore. i told him that I don't know about this.

What do you guys think?? My W has been speaking to me a lot about her Dad lately. She has a special place for him and is very worried about him. I think deep down she knows he doesn't approve of her behavior. When he talks to her - he is going to refer to her meltdown last week as the reason that he can't let this go on. He is also going to point to her treatment of her kids that he knows something is not right. I think he will be successful in getting her to go. Do you think this is good or bad??
