[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 534684, member: 11832"] I forgot to mention that the last time husband saw the therapist he was full-blown psychotic. I went with him. By this time he was wearing the hat and sunglasses and dancing. I mistakenly thought that the therapist would help me hospitalize him. Another brick wall. husband fired both the therapist and the psychiatrist. And get this, psychiatrist has a policy that he WILL NOT take calls from spouses. I don't think either of them know what happened to husband, and I think it's my duty to inform them. I want it to be educational though, not some angry tirade from a surviving spouse. I want the two of them to understand that they were bleeping with people's lives and two of them were children. Also of note is that before father in law took husband to his house, I asked that he remove all the firearms. He used to hunt, and he has a whole cabinet full of weapons. He promised me he would. husband and I had a court date the day before Thanksgiving. This was to establish the protective order for a 2 year time period. Even though it was in the courthouse with bunches of deputies around I was terrified. I had to retell the horrible bad driving story and the whole bizarre story of his hit-and-run and violating the PO. The judge allowed me to stay at the table with my attorney which helped. I was so terrified that I just stared at the woodgrain on the judge's bench in order to focus my thoughts. I went first and then husband and his attorney tried to shock me with threats of divorce. His attorney attempted to make me out to be an angry, bitter spouse out for money. My attorney wisely let husband ramble and that's when it became evident what was really occurring. I happened to look up at the deputies when husband told them he [I]walked[/I] the 3 miles back to his car after having his leg x-rayed. I could see that the deputies thought that was absurd, and I felt like the judge would, too. He did. And he handled husband in a compassionate and respectful manner. He asked many questions of husband and encouraged him to seek help. But he also validated my terror and granted me an extension on the protective order. We spent 2 hours in front of the judge; the hardest 2 hours of my life. That was the last time I saw husband. husband spent Thanksgiving with his parents and cousins. The report from one I received later is that husband at this point was wearing the hat, glasses and one glove and claiming to be as great as Michael Jackson. (Very weird considering that husband was not even a fan.) He also converted to Judaism. I actually think that was one of his wiser decisions. It was odd in that husband had been a staunch atheist since age 8. But he had great respect and admiration for Jewish people.
