Good question and one I ask myself often. Maybe I’m in denial but I consider her to be mentally ill as it runs in her family. Her mother had a similar episode at the same age, quit her job moved many states away without telling any one. She came back albeit too early and repeated this two more times before she moved back for good. She seems fine now. When life gets hard they all seem to run away in lieu of working on the problem. They are all conflict avoidant.
My stand is for me and my values. I want my sons to respect me. They currently support my decision. I know this may all change in the future but for now this is working for me.
