Please continue to pray. For two months my husband had been locked up in a psychiatric hospital refusing to talk to me, and refusing to allow anyone to tell me anything about him. Two months to the day that he was first admitted he called and asked me to visit. I agreed and saw him a few days later. He looked great. He was clean shaven. His hair was cut and clean. He'd lost 30 lbs. He was doing well and our first visit went well. The 2nd visit was ok, but he broke down and checked out for about 45 minutes when I told him I wasn't going to let him come home until he proved to me that he wasn't gonna follow through outside of the hospital with all that he said he would AND that while I didn't mind reminding him every once in a while I was not going to remind him to do everything everyday. He really didn't like that and he shut down.
Immediately following, he stopped taking care of himself. He stopped running. And while I don't know
The exact details of how he regressed, I can say from experience he probably wouldn't get out of bed, stopped showering and other hygenic practices, etc.
In addition, he hung up on me 3x. The first was only a partial hang up. I was trying to tell him that he had my support, but that it wasn't going to look like he thought it should. He quickly said "I cant talk about this right now" and hung up. The second was because I told him I wasn't sure I could visit him one day because I had prior commitments that couldn't be rescheduled, though it was already set that I would visit the following day. Lastly, it was because I told him I didn't appreciate having to be made to feel like the bad guy for standing by my commitments. I didn't even get that far. I got 3 words out and he hung up. Mind you, all of these conversations were calm and cordial. There was no anger at least on my part.
The last detail is that my husband has been involved in two fights this past week alone. The first didn't escalate or cause injury because apparently when he punched my husband in the face he just laughed and the guys is now terrified of him. The second happened when his best hospital friend snapped over a
game of cards and started punching him in the head. He ended it with cut up lips.
Today I was supposed visit him but I dont think I'm going to. He's been violent in the past and one of three things could happen. 1). He minds his p's and q's because I'm physically there. 2) he becomes angry and violent. 3) I drive the hour to see him and he refuses to see me.
I'm not sure what to do. I just know I'm without my husband for the holidays because hes flipping his lid at everything and everyone.
