Sorry your in such a tough situation.

Living with someone that has a MI can be tough on others, that just the reality.

My Advice would be that it would be helpful if your wife were to see a Therapist on her own, she can learn ways to take care of herself that will lower her stress and home life won't be as hectic or draining on her.

She needs to be thought of as your wife before she is thought of as your care giver.

Unless someone has a mental illness they will never be able to "really' understand what its like. I brought my husband to one of my Therapy appointment and my "T" explained to him in simple English what my illness was and how he could or could not help me...Everyone mental illness or not have to learn how to take care of there own mental health. My husband is always there when I need support , But I do avoid being dependant on him, I have a responsibility to take care of myself.

What would making a move like that do to your current situation? Would you and your daughter be able to continue your treatments without a long gap waiting for appointments for care? breaking the family apart for a while ? or could it "break" to relationships?
