Listen to everybody but judge for yourself what is right or wrong. There isn't allways an easy answer and sometimes there isn't an answer

Your brother took it upon himself to get your husband out of hospital, so what is your brother doing now about getting him back into hospital?

This whole thing sounds to me like he's got some serious mental issues that need to be diagnosed and treated in a mental hospital setting, without the brother interfering to get him out. He wasn't in the hospital long enough for doctors to really observe and diagnose him properly, let alone treat him. Risperidone (Risperdal) can be used for both schizophrenia and bipolar mania, and this change in mood / personality he's recently gone through could certainly be caused by either one. The fact that he is refusing the medication seems to indicate that he doesn't want to change back to the wonderful, loving husband he once was.

Is there any way the family could meet (without the husband present, of course), and agree to get him back into the mental hospital for his own good so he doesn't harm himself or anyone else, and to let him stay there until the doctors can get him properly diagnosed and treated? The best thing for him would be to get the help he needs, without anyone interfering to get him out before he gets through this.

You guys have been really awesome, true friends.

I sent a letter to the family stating that I wanted out. I sent a letter to my brother that it was a huge mistake to get him out of the hospital. I thought that we needed to look into deeper neurological causes. We can discuss if we want to do another involuntary comittment. My brother is a well meaning NT idiot.

My husband wants to meet with me at a coffeeshop today. I will politely decline. I have had enough.


I have been isolated in my new apartment just staring at the walls, and rocking for hours.
