OP - This is very serious situation for your children most of all  that you need to be talking to a trained psychologist about and in getting direction on how to proceed safely with children rather than spending precious time on a random board.    The psychologist would also guide you in getting the appropriate counseling help for them, too, at this time.  You are trying to control a very volatile situation that according to you could change on a dime if your DH is not taking his meds and going to therapy (and/or ) if they are not working and he is refusing/unable to recognize the need for care.  At this point in time, your teens are likely relying on help from their friends online about the situation with dad and mom.  While you may not want to push your husband to a  higher level of depression/anxiety, for the safety of all of you, you need to ask a professional what the next legal step might be if dad is not willing to get medical help as in a legal separation with custody and visitation with as you indicate supervision agreed upon until certain things change with dad.  You need to clearly understand that mental health issues may very well run in the family and you want to establish with your teens that it is important to handle them honestly, but within professional guidelines at times for the well-being of all.  Call a therapist in your area.[/quote]
