Hello, I am new and would....LONG!

[Saprena]

like to share. I am married with 2 children and life has not been easy over the past year. My husband came home recently from training in the military. He was a recovering alcoholic for about 18 months and apparently during his training he drank and continued to do some once he got home.

So, he told me immediately and he sought help by attending a 28 day rehab which he ended up being there for 40 days. He was treated and diagnosed with Psychosis which was new on top of severe depression, anxiety and PTSD. What a combination.

He came home no more than a week ago and drank last night, so myself and the kids confronted him and told him that he was no longer welcome in this family. See, his counselors and I discussed that I needed to set boundaries. Which drinking and lying were 2 of many. So, I guess it took him back for a minute because we confronted him with our feelings.

He apparently last night while in the basement attempted suicide by ingesting pills. I called the paramedics and of course the cops come along because it is attempted suicide. Now he is in the hospital waiting to be transported to a facility where he will need to be cared for. The social worker on the Crisis ward told me that she fears for my safety, but that he didn't say he would hurt me, but that he was blaming me and that he wanted to hurt other people. I cannot say what he actually said, but if any of you have seen Silence of the Lambs than you know!!

This has not hit me yet as I feel that this is the safest place for him. He has had a lot of trauma in his past and unfortunately he never dealt with it. He lost his only daughter 14 years ago and was in an abusive and drug infested marriage and his father always put him down and doubted him in everything he did back then. I just hope he gets the help he needs. I will help him through his illness, but I have no plans to reconcile our marriage whatsoever. I won't abandon him.

Thanks so much for listening.
