Wow, well said. And you know, while there is some great advice here, your wife DOES have mental health issues. Depite that, she's not actually mean to you. It IS confusing to me too. Hard to advise.
It's a tough call. What on earth must your mil feel about all this? I do feel sorry for her. If this were my daughter....I'd stick around as long as possible. I think... j-
PS I agree with Coach and Puppy about the email & updates...keep it short!!
Thank you 25. MIL told her she was making a big mistake, but W has her mind made up. MIL is leaving on Monday. I would normally agree with you about MIL. But these last 2 times her MIL has been here, she has distanced herself from me. So I am not so sure her MIL being here is all that good. She once made a comment to me about her mom's seperation from her father to the affect "I may have been better off had she made that seperation permanent." She still has quite a bit of resentment toward her father.
As far as the way she is acting, I am very confused. It doesn't seem to fit into any of the simple categories.

Wait for the day when her mood and judgement changed such that her answer was "OK I will take that treatment now" :-) Seriously, I don't know; but I think patience may be the key no matter what the end result of this may be. I will use the time to improve myself. What else can I do?
