Sounds like you have been thru a rough time as of late. Men and mid-life crisis can wreak havoc on us and our children. Mine pulled thru it without destroying our family, but it was touch and go for many months of us all living in hell.
Anyway, just wanted to tell you I said a prayer for your family this morning. When I was in the midst of all the chaos I found this quote from Louisa Mae Alcott that became my mantra. I put it in my car, in front of my desk, etc. It reminded me that I would not only survive, but would come out of it changed for the better. It is.. "I no longer fear the storms for I have learned how to sail my own ship."
That was the gift that came from all the pain. I am a woman of strength who can survive anything, and for that I am grateful.
Best of luck~you deserve it!

My wife and kids are my life. May God strike me dead before I have such a "mid-life" crisis. I'm ashamed of my sex and very sorry for you guys.
