Title: NEW and OVERWHELMED Post by: ErronM on February 23, 2015, 09:35:37 AM I went with him to the psych last week, and they admitted him to inpatient psych. HE heard for 3 days--just to wean off clonazepam... . He's NOT RIGHT in the head! His instructions when he would talk to me during visitation was for me to go shopping for a 'pretty casket' because there he will not live another month. As of last night, he's furious with me that I work today and won't be there to pick him up when they discharge him--because the 3 day 'detox' has been completed. I know he's safe there--but what am I supposed to do with him if they send him home? I've told them what he says, and now that makes me part of the 'bad people' to him... . I feel screwed either way and terribly alone and overwhelmed!

ErronM, you truly are in a tough situation and I'm sorry this is so difficult. By disclosing what he's said, I think you've done the right thing, even though he's put you on his "bad" list. Many of us have been in a similar situation and we're here to help. When you have a chance, please read the lessons on the right side of the page. I hope that they won't discharge him yet and that he will have a time to get centered and that you will have an opportunity to learn new strategies for dealing with his frightening and disruptive behavior.
