[QUOTE="DDD, post: 455429, member: 35"] My heart goes out to her, the children and to you. I had a similar friend when I was around thirty who's husband had her locked into a mental health institution so he could have the children. My heart begins to race just thinking about the stress, so I know in part how you are feeling. The entire time I was leading her to legal help I was watching my rear view mirrors in stifled fear. On the up side...she ended up financially secure, with her kids and safe. Do you know if he behavior has consistently been irrational over the years or if it rather sudden onset? I was wondering about early stages of dementia. Is his anger just home based? If he has been BiPolar (BP) for a long time what triggers are present now that weren't before? I so hope that she will reach out to here therapist and finally tell the truth about the interactions and seek professional advice. Based on reading and films I would assume she will be resistent about going to a DV specialist...although clearly she needs to. Obviously I don't know her personality but if it were me I would fear that my children would either be harmed or do harm to protect me. Maybe the kids can be a motivator for her? by the way, is he remorseful following an outburst? That seems to be the MO of abusers and lack of remorse might indicate some other problem as well. I will include you all in my prayers and hope she is able to make wise choices. The State law was probably written up and passed by male legislators! Are Protective Orders also in the paper? Where we live, by the way, they listed minors in the paper including photo's when they were arrested for pot or whatever. A couple of years ago they stopped doing that but many lives, including easy child/difficult child's were impacted for life. So sad. DDD [/QUOTE]
