My guess is, that’s the root of it somehow.
Be careful. Lawyers to look for Internet postings.
I don’t know how I’d handle similar circumstances. I doubt I could have held out as long as you did. You deserve a measure of peace.
See a lawyer. Get her committed. Use her mental condition as a condition to say that not being of sound mind she cannot enter legal agreements. You might not be able to stop the divorce, but you might protect some assets.
spent time in psych after head injury for depression.
no kidding, you meet twice a day for a half hour, then lay in bed or watch TV.
Seeing a doctor is an event.
Long term could be different.
I was only In two week. LONG boring two weeks.
outpatient with meds and visiting nurse would be ideal if possible.
If she’s just “acting” she deserves every award known to man for acting.
This can only get worse for you, and it will unless you grab the ejection seat handle firmly and pull it.
Then don't look back.
If liberals didn't have double-standards, they would have no standards at all.
You have one life on this earth. Don’t waste another day in an unfixable miserable situation. Drive the divorce through yourself. Don’t rely on the changing whims of your wife.
I’m afraid she may have to hit bottom before she will start seeking real help. I have a friend with alcohol-induced dementia and she refuses to take her meds now. There is nothing you can really do except not enable them.
Good luck.
From the poor guys description, it's pretty clear she can't be committed.
My dad had some infections and he was seeing some very odd things. His sanity returned and no more hallucinations once the infection cleared up.
Sorry. First time I can recall posting to the wrong thread.
It sounds like she may be possessed. I’m not joking, does she have anything in her background that would open her up to being possessed?
Did you post that on the right thread?
Good Lord, don’t call the cops as one poster has suggested!!
Sorry. We crossed postings.
God help you. You’ve had it rough.
If you wife goes through with the divorce, she is likely to have crises - who will be her emergency contact and next of kin? If it falls on one of your children, he or she will need your support and experience.
I pray that your wife finds healing and a safe haven, even if it is some kind of institution, and I pray that you also find peace, and healing from your long struggle, and for your children also.
Have you ever contacted NAMI? It can be a relief to talk with people who have been through what you have. A loved one’s mental illness is so stigmatizing, and we tend to keep quiet about it, so as to protect our loved one and the rest of the family, and ourselves.
As they say, mental illness is not the kind of illness where people bring you casseroles. It’s lonely. God bless you.
This is important advice. I went through something very similar, suffice it to say I became the enemy. She was gone and I was trying to save my family.
It's incredibly difficult and no one wins. Try to find some peace.
Being her husband, you can have her committed. You also might ask your children what they think about that, would they support your decision, etc?
Insanity is a valid reason for divorce, besides she seems to have initiated the process(which is more than filing a petition.) Good luck.
