Wife's mental illness and hard decision

[labug]

I know now the wife has to go down her own path that she has chosen to go down.

Do you think your W chose this road? How's that? It seems she has a pretty active mental illness right now, something that's probably out of her control.

Your Ds are soaking all this in and how you respond to your W's illness will be with them forever. One of them may have depression (or something else) in the future.

She will always be their mother, always. Compassion and acceptance goes a long way and touches our succeeding generations.
