[quote=Anonymous]This may seem like an odd suggestion but I think AlAnon may be helpful for you. My husband is a recovering alcoholic and also suffers from depression/anxiety. Reading your description of how hopeless it seems to get her better and cutting off friends so they don’t see what your life at home is really like sounds a lot like what I experienced. Al anon helped me set boundaries and find ways to take care of myself and our children regardless of what my husband was doing or not doing. I definitely agree with PPs that you should try to find her good mental health but like with an alcoholic you can’t make her want to get better. I wish the best for you and your family- mental illness is so very difficult for all involved. [/quote]
