My wife of three years was recently diagnosed with BP and acute depression after the death of her abusive father. She tends to cut herself and talks of suicide all the time. She is getting treatment, but hates it, and refuses to think she will ever get better. Today she told me that she no longer loves me and that I am the cause of all her anxiety. She wants a divorce so that she will not be a burden to me, and so that she will be free. I know the right thing - at least the moral thing to do - is to stand by her and help her through this. But will I help or make it worse? Obviously I feel overwhelmed by her situation as much as she is. I havent been able to work for 6 months since I've been watching her like a hawk. Where does love draw the line with practicality?
I cannot give good advice because I still have a long road to travel myself, so I will just say, I know what your going through. I've been living in the exact same situation for 16 years now.
