[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving on may mean leaving the kids alone with him, simplistic answers leave our real world considerations like that.

I'm sorry, OP. You said you saw his mental health slipping a month ago, so before the work crisis. He needs a more robust treatment team with a plan for such a scenario. He needs a psychiatrist and possibly a [b]trauma focused therapist, [/b]DBT, etc. At some point he may benefit from EMDR or somatic experiencing but he has to be stable first.

OP, is there somewhere the kids can go to be cared for while you are on your trip? Family, friends, a neighbor? That would be the ideal so as to keep your job as capable of supporting you and the kids as possible. If not, I'd cancel trip.

Are you the PP who learned of the affair while on a family trip? If so, sounds like there is a lot of local help for you.

No pretending that your world has not fundamentally changed OP. If you split, get a lawyer familiar with building in protections for kids when a parent has MI or addictions. A few get mentioned on here regularly.

Do not say mental health crisis to your work or his. Not necessary and not helpful. [/quote]

Where did OP say DH has experienced trauma? Just seems unable to deal with problems of his own creation.

Otherwise these are great suggestions.[/quote]
