I am sorry that you are going through this right now.

What I see after reading your post was this.

1) your wife is in denial.
2) she is heading for rock bottom, but not quite there yet.
3) it won't be long before she hits.
4) she NEEDS therapy.
4) she is self medicating
5) your children and YOU are suffering.
6) medication will only cover up or smooth over her symptoms, it won't make her problems go away. Only she can make them more manageable.
7) You are enabling her to continue with her behavior. She needs boundaries also. She needs to have some kind of accountability for the things that she is doing.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh. I am looking at it from the person that was in your wifes shoes. I too, did the very same things she herself is doing. My husband allowed it too. I wished he hadn't.

Take care of YOU and YOUR children too. You all need help. Possible I think that you also need therapy, or go to a group to help you deal with your wife.
