[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 351711, member: 4264"] Congrats on taking the high road (speaking in a respectful way to the kids about her) and congrats on taking that step to secure yourself and the kids. I know it must be so difficult and your words show us all that this not easy for you, nor what youd choose in a more ideal situation. As I posted last time on this thread, this doesn't prevent a change in the situation with you and your wife if her situation improves and she gets real help and reaches stability and more insight into her disorder etc. But for now, it is what it is. And what steps you are taking are the wisest ones with kids involved. I can imagine that despite the loss of your life partner at this moment, it must be a needed break for all of you to have some tranquility in the home. Embrace that and you and the kids will get through this. Sounds like your lawyer is dead right on the approach and I really hope that serving her doesnt cause her to meltdown and show up on your door or something. I have had to call police for help with my mother in strange situations like that, as I finally realized I had to (for my own sake) take a approach of realizing there was no point in trying to rationalize with her in that mindset. Each time, I would request police have her taken to the hospital (not police station) and evaluated, I would call ahead to speak to ER doctor about situation, and leave it in their hands. A couple of times this created a hospitalization that in the long term, was in her best interests. The times I tried to calm her myself etc never really did work for me. I continue to send good juju to yourself and your children, and to your wife that she might find some peace through treating her illness. Mental illness is such a insidious thing :( :( [/QUOTE]
