 So my husband is currently in a manic episode. Our son and I went to visit my parents for 4 days in hopes that my husband would calm down some. Well I came back to disaterous house in which he had been smoking in(he doesn't smoke) and drinking like crazy in. Not to mention that he informed me he had raided our son's piggy bank and taken off his wedding ring only to destory it and throw it away. He also bought a box of condoms...and I am not sure if I believe him when he says he didn't use them and got them "just in case" and to be safe. Well he also got charged with 5th degree assualt on Sunday night(I found the ticket) and he tried to pick two fights with two random strangers today. He keeps asking ME what is wrong and I just tell him that I am not ready to talk to him about it, but if he want to admit that something it wrong and he needs help then I will talk. Then he just laughs at me and tells me that everything is normal. YET he says he wants to move out. And he claims he isn't married. He acts like we are just boyfriend and girlfriend and keeps referring to me as the mother of his child. And during all this he is trying to be all sweet and says he wants to spend time together and all that stuff. He is driving me bonkers with all of this. He just can't or doesn't want to see that he needs to go back to the doctor and STAY on his meds. I know I don't know what he is going through so I try not to judge. I just don't know how to handle him right now. Any advice from those who have been there??

 Hi HM- Don't let him drive you bonkers!!! Your son needs you. Please be safe and if he is assaulting and picking fights with people maybe you need a

safety plan. It sounds like he is really out of touch right now. Can you call his doctor for advise & let him know how bad he is lately? I will say a prayer for you.

Laur

 Hi, HM

I agree with Laur. It sounds like he is losing touch with reality. Watch him closely, as he my worsen suddenly. Definitely get in touch with his doctor as soon as possible. Without help, he may likely get worse. I will be thinking of you. Good luck!

 Dear One,

Take care of yourself and your children. He will find what he needs either through law enforcement interaction or taking himself to a dr.

You are NOT responsible for him. HE is responsible for himself. He's totally out of control and needs to get arrested or put in a hospital.

Keep that safety plan in hand and get yourself and your children out of that house and back where you feel safe.

Hugs to you!
