My mom has been going through something similar for many years now. My stepfather mental health has been worsening for years, and he refuses to acknowledge it. My mother is a minister with a P.H.D, and the most kind and loving women I know. It pains me to see her suffer as she does every day with not only the complete financial burden of the family because he refuses to help, as well as the emotional burden of loving a man who is too mentally ill to be capable of loving her back. He has hurt her emotionally and physically, and contributes nothing to his three childrens needs. My advice is this; if nothing can be done to help his illness, then you need to leave him, else risk your mental and physical well being. I know it will be hard, but if youve tried everything and there is no improvement, your last resort is your only resort. Im praying for you.
