[QUOTE="oceans, post: 38813, member: 2687"] When the threat and violence started for us, we eventually called the police and explained the situation and that we felt he needed to be hospitalized. They tried talking to him, and he agreed to a voluntary commitment. They escorted him to the ER with us following behind. We talked to the social worker at the hospital and told him all the medications he had tried and that nothing was working. We explained the difficulties as home and the threats and acts of violence. He agreed that he needed to be admitted and found him a bed at a hospital close-by. At the hospital they gave him an evaluation, and put him in a structured environment with therapy. They worked on the medication. He was in one hospital for 3 weeks and another for an additional 3 weeks. The hospitalization was the best thing we did. The medication changes started helping and with the structure and therapy he started getting better. There was even an option of him going to their Residential Treatment Center (RTC) if he needed for a longer stay, but he was well enough to come home. You might want to consider that the point has been reached that a hospitalization needs to happen. It is not right for you to live in a situation where you are treated so badly, and it sounds like she needs more help than what you can provide at the moment. [/QUOTE]
