I know there will be comments referring to my not following my vows etc. I did not post this seeking anyone's acceptance or to justify my decision. I welcome all responses. I don't feel guilty about it. Instead I feel sympathetic for her as I know she will have a rough time of it. But I can't help her if she won't help herself.

Sounds like she needs an eval, don’t you think? Can you get her committed for any bit of time?? ER? Mental hospital? Psychiatrist? Police? (I might start with PD).

Our friend’s wife went off the deep end several years ago - brought about by overworking one weekend (obsessively) + menopause + probably some lurking condition. She spun stories, picked up by the police, spent through their money, etc. She is finally now home again but he will not let her near their money. AND she must be on her meds as the condition to live there.

Sounds just terrible.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Sounds like you stuck with it long after many would have quit. Prayers for you and her both.

[fhayek]

I know that you will get plenty of freeper prayers. Hang tough. All things will pass.

[Farmer Dean]

Sometimes,all you can do is save yourself.

[bboop]

Ahh, I see, she was hospitalized. Good grief. You are dealing with NO reality on her part, aren’t you? Too terrible.

[rfreedom4u]

She just got out of the hospital three weeks ago. She’s had three follow up appointments since then and another coming up on Tuesday. I go to her appointments with her and tell the shrink everything.
They’ve adjusted her meds and she is completely functional. The only thing is she still insists on the whole Michael, angels, demons and ghost stuff.

[Lazamataz]

It’s sad, mental illness is like physical illness, and while you are supposed to stand by your mate, what happens if your mate tells ya to get lost?

Well, you did all you could, mate. Go get yourself a little piece and quiet.

Wisdom.

Prayers for your family.

You should refrain from posting anything about this on FR, Facebook, or anywhere else.

Does she have or has she had any substance abuse problems?

[Flick Lives]

I think sometimes dealing with a family member who has mental problems is the toughest of all. So little is really known medically and treatment is imprecise at best.
It’s a tough row to hoe for everyone involved.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

BTW, you sound very kind hearted about the whole thing to me. What can you do if she wants the divorce?

[rfreedom4u]

She abused alcohol. She would skip her meds on the days she drinks. Now she can’t drink due to her meds.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The person who said don’t post anything is right, from a legal standpoint.

[rfreedom4u]

If she wants it I can give it to her.

[fwdude]

Let me know if I’m way off base, but is there any chance at all she is just acting mentally ill to get this exact result?

[Don Corleone]

If you have a spiritual adviser now is the time to get friendly with him.
