So sorry to hear how difficult your life with your wife is right now. I can see where living with someone who has her dx can just suck the life out of a person.........it's the ungift that keeps on giving for both of you!

I don't mean to say that there isn't help out there available to her and you....but I do understand the challenges that exist and it's dang hard at times.
Is your wife in therapy at all? Is she on meds? How about you, can you get into some therapy in order to help you deal with what is going on? Sometimes having someone to talk to helps you to right things in your own mind and give you the strength to do what you feel you need to do.
I don't see that you have become a weakling....I do see that you are dealing with a very difficult situation and sometimes those kinds of situations make us feel vulnerable....
I hope you can find some support in real time as well as posting here. I also hope that your wife finds some help for her issues as well. I'm sure this must be very difficult for her as well as your kids and you.
