To me it sounds like your wife is putting you down to make you think you cant do any better. I would ask her to attend marriage conselling with you. If she doesn't want to do that hire a private investigator to see what she is up too... why she is so hurtful to you...

It sounds like what she is doing to you as well as your children would be considered abuse of some sort.

You can't just "get someone put on pills" You must have let her come to the doctors with you and verbally agreed for her to be in the consultation and then had some symptoms bad enough for the doctor to believe what she was saying.

I very much doubt that she is keeping you prisoner so why not go out, go back to the doctors and let him assess you on your own. He will be able to tell you if there is anything wrong with you.

Other than that, why don't you leave? If you are working then get a place of your own, or go back to your parents.

There is nothing keeping you there apart from your responsibility to your children. As long as you are seeing them and providing for them, you don't have to be in the same house.

Good Luck!! xx
