Hello Garza: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral. I'm sorry you are caught in such a difficult situation. One additional forum, here on PC, that may be of interest to you would be the partners of people & caregivers forum. Here's a link:

And then, since you mentioned depression is something you struggle with, you may find the depression forum to be of interest:

Here are links to 10 articles, from PsychCentral's archives. The first 3 talk about denial & how to persuade a loved one to seek professional help. The fourth talks about how to help a loved one who has bipolar disorder to cope. The rest offer tips on managing depression day-to-day:
