Hi everyone. Whew it is late and I'm up for nearly 48 hours, so i'm off to sleep in a minute.
Okay so off i went with S/O and my superintendent. I went to the local hospital to the crisis intervention team (psychiatric team). A near 3 hour talk later, we FINALLY have a mental health professional who is freaking out as much as us. She literally said that he is going to KILL someone. She was tearful at the end. A human??? At last!!!!
She noted ALL in his chart. I'll post tomorrow after a long rest what all new stuff we know (and this woman knows). She then told us how we are going to get him in hospital.
Turns out we have a lovely law that we were unaware of. A doctor could do a Form 2 it is called, to direct police to take him to psychiatric ward for inital 3-4 day evaluation. But of course that idiot turns a blind eye. Well the lovely law??? I CAN FORM 2 HIM!!! And this woman assists many people doing so themselves and people she tells to do this get it done with not a fraction of the cause that we have!!! So she knows we will get it.
Court house is closed until Monday. On Monday morning I am to attend the court house to see a justice of the peace with all this down in written form. I fill in a Form 2 request and explain to justice what is happening and the crisis intervention feels this man can kill someone and we will have the order to bring to police to enforce by mid day Monday.
This woman is a GOD SEND!!!!! She even hugged me as we left and said to be safe and not let legal process get me down, that this is all documented in the hospital computer system (which is shared by the psychiatric hospital) including his entire history with the hospital that we can't be told about but very much exists for the hospital staff to realize how violent this guy has been over "a lifetime" (thats HER words, so she was tongue in cheek leaking to me the fact that this guy is a lifetime in and out of psychiatric wards patient). Helps my case!!!
So we then went to the police station. the one nice cop we had last week, who accepted responsability for mess up that first night with S/O, well he was on duty again tonight. He was dead serious to help from the second we got there. Suddenly to protect themselves from S/O taking action, they are our bestest friends and we have assurance of full support. This cop called the crisis intervention woman and they spoke. FINALLY police and mental health WORKING TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!
We all came home. Within AN HOUR this cop showed here. 4 cops, 2 cars. A "safety check" they told the psycho. He played it cool. They expected that. They are going to KEEP safety checking him every SEVERAL HOURS all weekend!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Safety checking means even if he doesn't open the door, they kick it in to ensure he's stable inside. One sight of alcohol and falling around, oops. He is a danger to himself. Instant psychiatric ward trip in cuffs!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
So we aren't there yet completely. But we have a TEAM NOW.
The officer called back after safety check. Told me exactly what was said to psycho. He said it was obvious "he isn't right in the head" but did not behave violently and for a rare occurance , was not falling down drunk. The guy said beer is everywhere though, so he'll be picking it up to drink. He never has gone more than one full day without drinking since he lived here. He does NOT know they are going to keep coming back over and over and over. We can call for ANYTHING and they will come and check him again. They said everything that makes me jump a bit, CALL THE POLICE and they will be here. They will not treat it as nuisance calls. Its more THEY want to be this psycho's personal nuisance!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I'm relieved. He will be going. They also said he needs long term hospitalization because he will only move somewhere else in town and do this to others and shifting the problem isn't the solution, he is a danger to our "ENTIRE COMMUNITY" to quote both the crisis woman and the officer.
So we are vigilant as we've been. But his days are numbered and we have the right people working FOR US now.
Im' feeling very kinda giddy. Sort of like I'm doing something to avenge S/O's attack too, sick maybe but even knowing he must be in a RAGE right now knowing we are getting him psychiatric checked by the police etc feels PRETTY DARN GOOD!! His sick game he's played with our lives? He suddenly isn't in control of it anymore and its a good feeling to know he knows it.
I'll fill in some really wacked out stuff we discovered yesterday and today. I'll try to post it tomorrow. It seems to never end. Our neighbours are breaking their silence due to fear, and are talking and OMG. Some stuff we are all learning !!! This guy is worse than any of us thought even after this attack etc. I may even sleep well tonight even though we're not clear of him quite yet. But its all snowballing and moving finally where it needs to go.
All in all, the best I've felt in over 2 weeks.
Thank you all for your good thoughts!!!! They worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
M.
