Neil - have you had a heart to heart with your W about her depression and mental state?? Is she open to getting help, or is that subject off limits?? I went through some of the same things, but the subject was taboo in our home. If she gives you the opportunity to get her help please do immediately! Do not hesitate. Eventually she won't be open to it and you can pretty much kiss her goodbye at that point.
I think you need to take more of a leading role here. It may be difficult not to be adversarial but think it through. Do you want to save your M or do you want to lose her?? She's watching you.
I am concerned about the suicide talk and the body part stuff. I know it may be seen as fixing - but you do love this woman, right? She is clearly not in the right frame of mind and making bad decision after bad decision. She has a history of depression and is thinking about things 24/7. She is a total mess. I would try to get her psychiatric or medical help. Some of the things Sandi has said about hormones being off and how it clouded her judgment so much--- really sticks out in my head. I wish I had known that last year. I would have handled things differently.
I would hate for you to be sitting in my shoes a year from now without at least exploring that option.
Strength and Honor.
