Your family is lucky to have you being so supportive in many ways. I am a Stay At Home Mom dealing with depression and anxiety. Thankfully my husband has an at home office so I am not 'alone' in the house during the day (Most days I'm in a day treatment program so that helps). My husband keeps things together and the house running. I do what I can and feel a lot of guilt for being ill. My husband helps with the kids in the morning, he's taken care of dinner a few times when I can't get off the couch and has gone grocery shopping with me in the evening. It's the simplest of tasks that are really hard for me (I feel stupid for typing that because to look at me I don't have a leg or an arm missing but I may as well for what I'm capable of doing - before my breakdown I was training for a marathon and was taken 6 credits in Health and Exercise Science). Now I can't remember half of anything and find things in the oddest of places/forget where I put things or conversations etc..
Sorry for my rant but what I wanted to say is your family is very lucky to have you. Jobs come and go and they are sounding supportive of your situation. Hoping that your daughter has a speedy recovery.
