Even though I haven't been posting, I have been reading threads - and I always keep an eye out for yours.
I am concerned about XH's behavior. It sounds like he's close, very close to hitting rock bottom. There could be many things going on: depression, mental illness, MLC, brain tumor (rare - but who knows), anything.
i would suggest googling and seeing if your city has a mobile crisis unit. They're usually affiliated with hospitals, Mibile Crisis Units have trained mental health professionals who will come to people's homes and do psychiatric evaluations, checkups, etc - for people who are in crisis. This tends to be a good alternative for individuals who are opposed of going to hospitals, therapists, etc. The team can evaluate and refer people to therapists, or other alternatives if necessary. If things are bad - they work In Conjunction with the police to get people help that they need be it 72 psychiatric holds or what not.
I am glad that you have notified his parents but my heart aches for you and the position you are in. It is tough seeing a loved one in crisis. You may feel like you are responsible for getting him help, or what not. It's tough. I hope that his family and friends will band together and support him in his time of need.
Make sure you take care of yourself - especially if your husband is ill. Having dealt with this not only with my biological father but my husband as well - situations like these can wear down on you quickly. Know that you cannot fix your husband, but you can support it, (should you choose), in whatever manner that he will allow.
Take care of yourself. I will be thinking of you.
