Has anyone here dealt with the onset of mental illness with their spouse?

---

My wife thankfully inherited her fathers side of the family when it comes to this but my mother in law is on a different level.

I'm not saying that she walks around and hears voices and stuff but she is so self absorbed with how she feels it has literally consumed her life. When I say consumed it eventually led to a divorce and now she's living alone which means she calls the wife often. She has no sense of financial responsibility and her life and money almost all revolves around doctors visits. Holistic, regular, it doesn't matter. I've honestly never met anyone like this and I have some legitimate crazy aunts.

There is no doubt there is something mentally wrong with her. She's been to 50 plus doctors and nothing. I saw the change in her when she was around 40. For the record the mother in laws mom is also out there.
