Sorry you are hurting. You did the right thing. Maybe now she can get a proper diagnosis and get on track with some good help. You did not do anything wrong. Keep praying for her as prayer is amazing.
Lord Jesus I pray that Your will be done in these circumstances. Bring Your peace, love and harmony to this family. In Jesus name, Amen

Thank you Danschance. What sucks is that my wife would never talk like that in the past and she'd never hurt a fly. This was so unlike her. And now I can't get the sound of the handcuffs out of my head. I feel like I betrayed her. She such a sweet woman. What am I going to tell our son when he wakes up?

Unfortunately yes i'm awake...
Sorry to hear about your problems bro. I'm suffering from some serious insomnia lately, so my nights aren't so great either... Right now it's almost 5 am and I can't get to sleep... I can't remember the last time I had a decent night of sleep.
My nights aren't as bad as yours though. Sounds rough.

Prayer is not a magic lamp that we rub and get what we want. Prayers are petitions for God's intervention. Sometimes He may choose not to for a reason we don't know, sometimes He does. And sometimes He is not able without breaking free will. I don't know what is going on with your wife. Perhaps she has an undiagnosed mental condition. Not all mental conditions show symptoms. They can lie dormant or have minimal effects. And in some cases a violent tendency may be dormant until a trigger.
Continue to pray for her, for yourself and your son. Because prayer didn't have the Immediate affect you were seeking, this doesn't mean prayers are ineffective or you didn't pray 'hard enough.
Far as what to tell your son, i suggest the truth. That you don't know. But that whatever it is his mother still needs his prayers and pray together. And let him know that you are going to do whatever you can to find out why this happened and to help his mother. My parents had a tendency to not be honest with me about things that happened when i was younger. As i got older and discovered this i was quite upset that things were going on around me i was not told about. Don't do this to your soon.

I have been through something way to similar wow. I had a good friend of mine threaten suicide and run out of my apartment last yr.She had attempted it 2 weeks before and was saying it at my place appearing also under the influence of some substance.I was scared not knowing if she would actually do it or get hurt somehow so I called 911.I figured her safety had to be number one, even if I may be wrong and it was just a empty threat to get attention.I love her,but she needs God in her life she is on a road to destruction.

The Lord kept you and your son safe, and He removed her into an environment where she can get the help she needs. Prayer's are always answered just sometimes not in the time or how we expected them to be.
I am truly sorry that you have had to go threw this, mental disease, or substance abuse, or even hormones can make us become someone we are not usually, as you said she is a very sweet women, and I don't doubt that for a second. She is so fortunate to have someone like you in her life, that loves her as you do.
She is going to thank you in the end for doing what you did, and handeling it as you have.

Thank you everyone for your prayers and encouragement. This was very difficult because I've never seen her like this before and calling the cops on my wife, normally a very sweet and gentle person, made me feel very bad.
This afternoon the hospital released her. The diagnosis was delusions caused by sleep deprivation and missing a couple doses of her seizure medication. They also subscribed her an antidepressant that also works as a sleeping aid. I still think menopause played a role in this too but I guess this has to be confirmed by a medical doctor instead of a psychologist.
Again, thank you everyone. She seems back to normal.

Hi
Tread careful sometimes things are not as they look. She is going to need your support when and wherever you can give it. Watch carefully.
Let the doctors do their work make sure she does what they say.
Have courage your son needs you as much as your wife. Children see more than you know, try and explain to him if he asks tell him the truth children are not stupid. If you work try to get a relative or someone to drop by for a cup of tea and chat. You do not have to make it obvious.
Do not overlook the fact that something could be troubling her as well. I am not a doctor but have seen these things and have often found sometimes people could be holding back secrets and the right is battling with the wrong.
I am not saying this is so. but does not hurt to bear in mind.
And as others have already said pray but do not expect miracles.
Take care
