[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 424754, member: 11832"] I keep writing and keep losing it. Do I have a time limit of which I am unaware? husband had a psychotic break late in August. We were watching a movie and in a split second he snapped. He suddenly thought I was the woman in the movie who was humiliating her husband. He forcefully brought the kids into the bedroom with him and locked the door telling them that I was "evil" and he needed to protect them from me. I stayed as calm as I could. I did try to talk rationally with him at first but he was completely irrational. At the time, I did not know he was psychotic; I just handled the incident to the best of my limited ability. I asked him calmly to unlock the door so that I could put the kids to bed. He allowed me to do it. I slept from then on with the cell phone under my head. In the moring, husband realized that something was very wrong. He allowed me to take him to see his psychiatrist. No medication changes though. The psychiatrist was willing to sign disability papers so that husband did not have to work during September. It was a very rough month for me. In retrospect, I think he should have been hospitalized but none of the doctors (4 total involved) were willing. [/QUOTE]
