[quote=Anonymous]A few things here, from someone who's btdt.

-If he has a long history of depression (or other serious mental illness), he should never be on meds without ongoing behavioral talk therapy and regular (like quarterly) visits to a psychiatrist.  Sounds like he needs a new shrink.  Actually, he needs someone really good who can do a real assessment - is there ADD? Bipolar?  So that's one set of ultimatums to give him.

-His parents are enabling him to not deal with his illness or family responsibilities, whether they know it or not.  You need to have a discussion with them.  You can be grateful for their help, but need to be clear with them that he hasn't made any progress job hunting.

-I really think you need to find a good therapist to help you come up with a plan and deal with all of this.  There's no reason he should be not working and not dealing with the kids and house.  You need to figure out what reasonable limits are, how to express this to him, and how much time to give him.

Good luck.  [/quote]
