[quote=Anonymous]OP I just want to say that your wife is really, really lucky to have you, and not because she has such a crappy family (which she clearly does).

As for your inlaws sending wish lists, you could point out that this year your kids' wish list is for their mother to talk again.  Let them know that after they get your kids their wish, you're happy to buy them their minions doll or whatever.

Anyhow, more realistically, I am so glad to hear that you are getting therapy and that you are reaching out to others.  Most people would 200% willing to help in this situation.  Another thing you should also consider -- what about at your kids' day care (I assume that they went if your wife and you both worked)?  I have a 1 and a 3 year old and if I knew there was a mom in my class in such trouble, I'd be organizing help for this mom as fast as I could -- as PPs have said: meals, cleaning, and maybe also play dates for your kids.  And I'm an overwhelmed WOHM, but there are things that make us human, and doing things like this is one of them.

I am aghast at your family, but d the world is filled with good people; I hope that you can get help from them.

My very best to you and your family and in particular wishing your wife a road ahead to recovery.
