Wife's mental illness and hard decision

[prometheus]

Hi Lifes Twists,

Thank you for posting on my thread. I really appreciate it. You sure sounf in turmoil...

I am trying to concentrate on taking care of my daughters and myself right now.

That ^^^ is all the advice that i could offer, along with what the people have posted above. Sure, help your wife if she needs some immediate physical assistance, be the friendly neighbour...compassion and understanding may be the best things you can offer her right now. Going by what i have read of your situation on your thread, focussing on your marriage would not be at the top of your to-do list? It seems clear that your wife won't be ready to deal with it, at least the short term.

Your daughters will need you more than ever right now. They must be hurting - even if they aren't showing it. Do you have any family members who could help out? Someone the kids get along with?

I hope that what i have written is not offensive to you. I only offer it up in the hope i might assist in some small way.
