[QUOTE="Castle Queen, post: 402915"] I love the idea of taping the schedule to the bedroom wall-I am definitely going to try that! We have been divorced since July, and haven't lived together since October 2009. He would disappear from the house without warning for hours at a time, get drunk, and come home and wake me from a sound sleep to verbally abuse me. I saw a lawyer in June of 09 but decided to wait since he was having surgery- things got worse. I got a court order for him to vacate the house after he had a bad paranoid episode in Oct 09 during which he called the police on me for supposedly making all kinds of changes to our house and vehicles. the police called an ambulance and he was taken to a psychiatric hospital, where he stayed for 5 days and was diagnosed with bipolar. Ex later told me he didn't have bipolar but did have a bad reaction to Cymbalta which he was on at the time. His medical condition? He has back problems/fibromyalgia. During a drunken outing with coworkers he tripped over a curb and broke his collarbone, which led to back/neck surgery, fibromyalgia, stenosis, countless procedures, MRI's, prescriptions for pain and muscle relaxers, mood stabilizers, antidepressants- I can't keep track anymore and honestly it's impossible to have a coherent conversation with him anymore. Without a lawyer I can't really force him to disclose what the latest diagnosis and treatment are & he won't disclose because he says I should have paid more attention by attending appointments with him when we WERE married. (I was already taking off too much work to go to difficult child's appts) Two days after he received the divorce petition, he quit going to work and was fired. Now he says he can't work at all due to his health and has filed for disability. I'm not holding my breath on that one-if the kids ever see any money from it I'll be very surpised. At times he can be very cordial and at others- nasty, nasty nasty. I'm praying the cordial side is the only one the kids see and that he reserves the nasty for me only. [/QUOTE]
