DH using internet

He still spends time each day on his emails, etc. Lately he has been responding to spam emails and getting our passwords all screwed up. I am worried about him causing us to get hacked or becoming a victim…
I’m new to all this, am as lost as my DW
My DW is between stages 4 & 5. First it was her knees that hurt, then stomach and now back. Her psychiatrist fired her saying she can’t help her if she has lost her will to get better.

family and friends too afraid of anger to help- what to do?
