First off let me say that I have been doing well. House still on the market but a few weeks ago I found a great townhouse to move into (rent) near the h.s. where the kids go and the kids and I are so excited about it. I have not told too many people yet, but everyone I have talked to thinks it is great. It will be ready mid september. Tenant now is moving out in a few weeks and they are going to remodel kitchen, paint and carpet the whole place.
Fast forward to H. Well. I have been keeping my distance from him pretty much. Working through my lawyer, getting ready for support hearing and letting him live his new life with OW.
That was until friday. S17 came home from his gf's house around 11 and came in and told me that H was sitting outside on the corner in front of our house. I told s to just leave him be. Who knows what is going on....
H text me "goodbye M++++". Then sent me a tm asking for a ride. I thought...enough is a enough let me see what is going on out there. I walked out with d14 and there are the police putting H in the car (handcuffed). I asked what was going on and they told me that they had picked H up walking across a busy highway and he was drinking and almost got hit. When they asked where to drive him to he said my house. He must have pretended to go in.....and they came back and found him outside and arrested him. I called MIL and told her and said OW told FIL that they had a fight and H hit her and she was in the hospital (I think this was a lie).
So anyway, i let him go as he is no longer my problem...until the next day he calls me and apologizes crying and says tell the kids he loves him. I said ok. and that was that. His BIL bailed him out and I am not sure where he went after as BIL told me that h and OW had a fight and she threw him out.
Around 5:30 that evening s and I were home and H called. He was in the process of commiting suicide. He told me he was in his car and cut himself and was bleeding. He hung up and said he would call me back (i tried calling him back but no ans.) I think he called OW and she probably didn't help him so he called me back. In the meantime S called the police who came to my house to help me find him.
I talked to H for a while. I was able to calm him and I figured out where he was and he confirmed it. The police sent an ambulance for him and took him to the ER where I met him.
I spent 7 hours there with him while we waited for him to get stitched, xrayed (OW ran over his foot) and for the counselor to tell him what was going to happen. He ended up signing himself into a private mental health facility about 25 miles away and has been there since.
He has called me every day and thanked me for saving his life. I told him that anyone who cared about him would do the same thing. He said no they wouldnt. I don't think ow helped him.
I saw him there on sunday and brought him some things he needed. I went back on Monday. On tuesday he was not allowed visitors but was honest and told me ow was coming down as he has to resolve things with her. Not sure what that means. When I talked to him last night he said that they had a good visit and that she was very grateful I saved his life and so was he. I said that I was sure she would do the same for him and he said he wasn't so sure of that.
H is in group therapy and with a psychiatrist at the facility. He said the therapist is easy...the psychiatrist is tough on him. He says he is confused and has a lot to work through and doesn't know where he is headed.
Long story short...I saved my husband's life. I pray to God that he saves his soul. I don't know where my story is going to end. I am trying not to get futher than today. I hope that the psychiatrist unravels him....
Snodderly, do you know what the treatment entails. If it works.
