First of all i'm really sorry you are going through this. Watching a loved one and the mother of your children sink deeper into mental illness is like watching somebody you knew and loved die slowly and being replaced by their killer.
At the end of the day none of us is living what you are living at home. I commend you for wanting to keep your family together. You are a good man and doing what a man must do but at the same time I'm sure it must be killing you inside to watch your children see their mother break down day by day into something that doesn't even remotely resemble a nurturing, loving mother and wife.
You are looking for answers as most of do. I'm sure you have prayed and googled her condition for hours trying, hoping to find a cure or hope that things will get better.
At this point there is nothing wrong with long term planning to save what is left of your family. Your wife's condition may worsen over time regardless of what you do. You need to be prepared for this and protect your children. Keep all documents handy and start setting an internal, personal deadlines on what you are willing to put up with and for how long. Remember that you have kids in the picture. You need to be sane to help provide for your kids. If you are broken down you can't help anybody let alone your kids. Keep doing what you are doing but understand that your mind and body will not allow this for too long.
