[quote=Anonymous]This sounds really extreme. I would tell her that you can't go on like this, and you need to reach out for help. Or if you think that might trigger suicidal ideation due to her paranoia about how others perceive her, just do it and deal with the fall out after she's gotten the help. I would start with her mother if she's supportive of getting her daughter into a hospital program, and if not, then go to one of your doctors -- your children's ped, her OBGYN, her PC, your PC. Anyone should be able to talk to you about what can be done here. Also, it's not your fault that she has depression. It's not your kids fault. Don't let your guilt get in the way of taking a step towards a healthier existence for your whole family. At this point, you need to begin making the present more livable in any way you can -- the past is over.[/quote]
