[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 664570, member: 13561"] Thanks for the kind messages, all. He is currently in a rehab facility for a few days and is like a caged lion, according to the exgfs ma. She, DCs dad and I decided we would try to have him involuntarily committed by court order ,to a longer term place, because all he does is get out and start the cycle again. She just emailed me to say that she'd just told him what we want for him and he went ballistic. He said he would kill himself and if he had to stay where he was much longer he would have to go to a mental hospital. She said that if he feels like that, then that is where he belongs and he should tell the staff that. He said he would and that there was a staff member nearby who was listening to everything that was said. Now of course, I feel terrible. I don't get what would be different from jail, which he quite likes and feels safe inside. It'd be court ordered, but she is trying to get him into a good facility. The liaison person says it might not work because in the past he has been given opportunities to go to treatment but has refused them or not complied. But she's going to try. Does he really not see that he's just going back to square one if he doesn't get help? He has told me SO many times that he can't handle life on the outside. This is how I am catastrophising it-he will commit suicide rather than go somewhere and I will never forgive myself. The last messages between us were that we loved each other and now I feel he will hate me and would rather die than be helped. [/QUOTE]
