You are getting really excellent advice.

From my experience of being a foster mum, I know kids can blame themselves when parents S. you may want to tackle this issue, let each kid know its isn't to do with them and ensure your children know that these responsibilities are adult ones. That you will let them know and answer as many questions as you can. That you love them and you will never ask them to make a choice. You speak for you on this, kids know each of you can only speak for themselves. You may believe your W feels the same.

Hugs, lots and lots of hugs, more than you think you need to do. And quality time with them, you are going to end up being the stronger parent for a while if W disappears into a fog. Have a plan for each child and work it.

I like your attitude of protecting your precious and amazing children. Your D13 sounds like a caring and concerned young lady. Oh and I did say hugs?

Kids come first.
