W overhead D telling her doctor she is depressed, hates life and is cutting herself. She mentioned the issues at home and with her friends (peer pressure and just being a teenager, etc.).
Try not to "blame" this on your sitch, because you really don't know that your M is what is causing this. A lot of kids go through very rough times even when they've got very loving and supportive parents in a strong marriage.

Son made a report for school and created a certificate for both me and my W as being the #1 best Mom and #1 best Dad.
Clearly this is adversely affecting both.
What am I missing here? Your son says you are #1 mom and dad and somehow you are spinning that into a negative?
Quote:
W is shrugging it off. "we just need to get her in therapy". I responded that she just needs a stable home life.
I doubt your W appreciated your little jab at her. You do not know the cause of your D's depression. Depression is an illness and is often NOT SITUATIONAL. Your W is right, she needs to be in therapy.

This bad part of my WAW's decision is horrible. I am at a loss as this is now not about my MR. This is about my children's safety and security.
What do I do?
First, quit blaming your W. Second, get your kids in therapy. Third, you talk to the kids' therapist and find out what you can do to support them in the best way possible. Fourth, be the most amazing dad to your kids that the world has ever seen. That includes NEVER saying disparaging things to them about their mom, whom they love dearly and think the world of despite your marital issues.
