Unfortunately it makes a bit too much sense.
I do indeed recall your story. In fact, I suspect that at least one of my posts reminded you a bit of your wife. :) And since I'll confess that escapist tactics (a la dissociation) are my stock in trade, I was only mildly taken aback.
I have the utmost respect for your commitment to your child. It is so important to her to have a relatively stable home, and at least one stable parent.
I'm sorry your wife isn't more willing to commit to therapy or meds for herself. Not only would it make her marriage better but it would make her own life immeasurably richer. Not even to mention the beneficial effect on her child. My own commitment to therapy has much to do with being the best mom I can be to my son. None of those considerations will sway her? That was a rhetorical question really, because I know from your posts that you've exhausted all the possibilities you can think of.
Perhaps one day her heart will be turned.
