Document the crap out of this.

Email or text message those conversations about her meds and what a mess she is right now.

IF she threatens suicide as much as you don't want to call the cops and get her some professional help because not only is it the right thing to do (you aren't equipped nor responsible for her mental heath right now) it is also helpful to any potential custody dispute now or LONG into the future.

Read what I just posted yesterday to Defacto. Your kids likely need you to protect them during this period of your wife's mental illness but the second you start pulling strings and denying her her visitation (in an effort to protect your children) all heck is going to break loose. The more you document this the better protected you will be from any and all backlash.

This isn't advice just to possibly help you screw her over in a custody dispute....you may actually HAVE to protect your children someday. She's unstable and your children need you to remain calm and rational about this and protect them when the time is right. You can't do that effectively unless you build your case in advance.

It's really hard to prove someone is mental and unfit to parent when they KNOW they are being watched and observed.

Hopefully she'll stabilize but be prepared as best you can for the instant she doesn't.


The internet is 90% complaining and entitlement and I hate it because I deserve better!
