My bipolar angry mean so called husband deletes every outside contact I might have with the world from my computer. I am having a terrible time here and I want a divorce but I have been so beaten down that I am almost afraid to do it, my BP husband says he will grab our son and take him out of the state. HE even said he might do harm to him just to hurt me. HOw do I go about getting out of this "relationship" I wake up every morning to a crazy person calling me every vile name there is and in front of my children, and then he tells them not to listen to me because I am a liar. My childrens welfare comes first and foremost, so I have tried to explain to them that

Daddy's brain doesn't work right" and don't listen to him. The older kids are ok I think ( I really doubt it) but it is my 6 year old son that I am worried about. My husband is really playing with his brain-in a bad way.

I WANT OUT of here and I'm not sure how to do it, because I'm afraid he will take my little boy and kill him or something-just to hurt me.

History-my husband had a complete breakdown in 2003, was put in the secure part of the mental ward at our hospital. He spent I think 10 days there and was taken back by the police involuntarily for another 10 days or so. They let him go AMA because he signed some stupid paper allowing him to leave.

His doc has since refused to see him anymore because he is not complying with treatment...i.e taking his meds and he saw no Dr for about a year. Now he has found a Dr that will give him the drugs he wants and also the drugs he doesn't want and he takes what he wants which is lorazepam-and all of the other illegal drugs he does.

He is prescribed Lithium and Depakote-yah doesn't take them

Just trying to give you a little history-I just want out and frankly I don't care what happens to him. I have taken 7 years of his abuse and I want to never do that again, besides the example he is setting for the kids.

Any ideas or help??? Please???

Monica,

I would take the threats about taking your son, and harming him to hurt you, VERY seriously. You and the children are in, what sounds like to me, a dangerous situation. You need to talk to a lawyer, or the courts. You should maybe consider getting a ppo, or a restraining order. First of all, document everything that concerns you. Document the threats and the abuse, and his lack of treatment, and his drug use. Then talk to a lawyer, or the courts about getting away from him.

Hello Monica, glad you are here.

You need a plan.

If you need to get out, get that plan put together.
