Wifes severe depression, MLC, and suicide attempt

[Lifes Twists]

I hope I did not do the wrong thing this morning. Very hard to figure with what MLCers do.

Early this morning I am woken up by the dog barking. I then hear a knocking on the front door. I go down and its my youngest standing there trying to get in. She was at her mothers. I ask what is going on and she says that she is home for the day and would go back this evening. I asked how she got here and she said she walked. I asked where her mother is and she said sleeping. She then goes up to her room and closes the door.

I tried calling my wife and then text her to see what is going on. She call right back and said that daughter did not walk home that she dropped her off. Wife said she was going to be away all day and daughter did not want to stay there. I said to wife, "you going on a date." She came right back and said no, she had a part time job for more money. Said since there is no alimony and no money from the house she needed more. I asked why daughter could not just say that. She said did not know that we were confusing the girls. Said we would have to talk about it.

What is confusing is why the MLCer can't just share information like taking a second job to make ends meet. Why they seem to convince the kids to also not share basic information like this.

I am not sure if I pried too much when I said going on a date to her. Whether this will set things back or maybe open up some level of communication. I don't know if I should suggest we need to develop better level of communication so the girls are not caught in the middle like this. How do you reason with a MLCer?
