Yes, I believe she is eligible for ssi. She should look into it as soon as possible. These things take time to get rolling especially when you are dealing with a government agency.

Go to the doctor about depression. Have something prescribed for the depression. She needs to stay strong for her kids. Now isn't the time to break down. A job would do her good and keep her mind off of things.

That would be a really tough case. Its very unlikely that she will get SSI.
They have medication/treatments for those mental symptoms. The self medicating with the drugs/alcohol (i'm assuming it was a drug rehab) only makes things worse. Sooner or later you hit rock bottom. judges get cases like this all the time. She would have to really prove that she's mentally incompetent.

If the level of depression makes her in some way disabled it is possible. She should contact health and human services for help also.

why on earth should the public have to pay for the mistakes of your no good husband. Grow up, get yourself a job and a restraining order, and take care of yourself. Welcome to the real world sweetheart.

There are some social services who have real answers on this situation. I don't have that experience - Sorry.
