  The help your MIL needs won't come quickly. She's going to need lots and lots of time to work through her stuff. I don't know if FIL will wait for that. Maybe he doesn't want to. Maybe he just wants to check off the counseling box so he can say he tried everything and leave. If he's willing to walk away from the house, and it's just them two, and finances are tight, they should sell it. It sounds like it is just an extra burden and a hindrance at this point. 

  
  

  I really feel bad for your MIL. It's not her fault she's mentally ill. It's her fault for not doing anything about it, but she didn't cause her illness. That said, if she doesn't want help, then I don't blame FIL at all for leaving.

  Yikes. I'm glad he's at least seeing the forest for the trees now, and hope they can come to some sort of solution, whatever that may be.

  Ditto.  Good luck to everyone involved in that. Nice to see that your H simply reaching out to his dad in an unobtrusive way, prompted him to confide.
