How do I get his older children to help me, when they don't call or see him?

I need help and I know they can afford to send money for me to hire help. Even his siblings don't care, his father is 87 and he told me if I put him (his own son) in a nursing home he will end up in seven before its over ~

Your FIL knows what you have dealt with… well I'm glad you feel appreciated by him, at least. But I haven't a clue what's going on.

I would tell FIL that it may very well be a psychiatric hospital if assisted living or nursing home don't work. As his wife, it is up to you, not FIL.
