emotional threats by wife, what choices do I have


23-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I am married (12 years) and have 2 kids (10 yr/girl, 5 yr /boy). My wife (homemaker) is constantly unhappy, shouting and angry a lot. She has refused any recommendations to take therapy or counselling. We keep fighting a lot in front of kids. Wife has also said that she feels suicidal and has attempted it once a few years back. She gets angry even at the slightest contradiction of anything. She does not let me work - creates fake emergencies when I am on travel and emotionally blackmails me. I have lost my mental peace and unable to focus on work, severed connections with friends and feel utterly helpless. nnWhat are my choices? n- What if she does something to herself? That thought alone scares me. How can I protect myself? She writes a diary and keeps telling me that someday she will do something to herself and blame it on me.- If I ask for divorce, will I get my children custody?

You need to prove that your wife has been suffering from mental instability and her condition is a threat to the life of your children. Only then you will be able to get sole custody of your children. You can file for divorce to dissolve the marriage on the grounds of cruelty.
