Just a thought--do you think it might be beneficial to talk to lawyer about your situation and how to handle the mental illness aspects now, just so that you know already if it really comes up? Then you wouldn't have to wonder/worry and can get your eggs in a row as well.

My husband and I should hopefully remain on friendly terms. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that he knows how largely our children need me and depend on me and he won't try to take them from me. If nothing else, we may try to work out a one week with me, one week with him system. We've discussed it in bits. But, I have no fear of "losing them" despite my illness. The fact that he allowed me to stay home with them and that they spent nearly all of their time alone with me is enough, I would imagine, to ensure my position. Keep in mind also, when we step in front of a judge, this is not an agreed upon divorce, it is my husband walking out on us. The fears that I have had surrounding this have subsided as these facts have been laid out upon me.
