David, I would say this much.... I believe you need to take control of you and your kids, you do not control your wife nor are you responsible for her actions. She must own her shit... as must you. Maybe.... just maybe.... the best thing for all concerned is to be apart for a while to see if you can find mutual ground. I cannot tell you or suggest to you what to do, only you can make your decisions. I would simply say to have a look at what is going on and what is in the best interests of all concerned parties!
Let me just say that five medications is a bit much for any person with PTSD, likely another typical story of a physician giving more medications for more kickbacks for themselves. How a person gets diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety when they have been already diagnosed with PTSD surpasses me, as PTSD encompasses already major depression and anxiety diagnosis.... see what I mean? More diagnosis, more medications can be prescribed.
Your wife still needs to be responsible for her actions, she owns them. PTSD if present certainly does have facets that she just cannot control until she learns how, until she understands why she does certain things, why things exist.... all education and learning for her. Now though, right now.... you need to take control as the more sane and do what is best for you and your children.... their needs are typically more paramount to any other.
Again, your decisions that you need to act upon. Your wife will pull out all punches though, trust me, being she will go to sympathy and make you feel like shit in order to stay, its a natural response to a situation one knows they are going to lose. |
