Getting the mentally ill to stay on their meds, can be the biggest challenge.
I watched my brother’s marriage break up when his wife became bipolar. Everyone thought they could talk to her & reason with her, but her behavior & thought process had became totally illogical, so you couldn’t have a reasonable discussion. In the end, it was his wife who demanded the divorce and he very reluctantly gave in to her demand. It took a few years, but eventually he knew he’d made the right decision.
Does your wife want a divorce?
I think the question you have to ask yourself, is how you’re going to feel if something happens to her after you’re gone. If you’ll feel guilty the rest of the life thereafter, then divorcing isn’t a solution.
Can your children care for her more and take some of the stress off of you so that you can get away for short periods of time to recharge your batteries a bit?
Have you been to support group meetings.? Sometimes you can get suggestions from others who are going through the same things, as well as having others to talk to.
Best of luck to you.

Believe me I know! She says she doesn’t want a divorce. Her thought process is totally screwed up. It’s so bad that she even says good things about obama and islam. Since posting this article I have messaged the kids asking what they would do if I were to die in the next few days. I made sure to tell them that I have no plans on dying anytime soon!
