2 months ago (Jan) my bf became highly erratic (well more,he is bipolar), Pushing everyone away emotionally to extremes and then freaked out and flushed his meds. 4 days later he got wasted broke things threatened me with violence and i called over roommate he tried to calm him down. Dude just kept freaking and then doused himself with gas E took away J's lighter, but he found another one...E put him out as quick as he could, but S still has 2nd and 3 rd degree burns on 53% of his body, he was in a induced coma for 2 months and now is finally off breathing machine and wakeful and talking. But it is so weak cannot have a real conversation, and I am afraid to trigger his si tendencies. I am mad ,sad, and devastated, in denial, and possibly in bargaining stage too, I want to help him but only as a friend now, I dont feel I can ever trust him again especially not with my kids. He could have burned us all up. I am very confused. I want to be there for him and to run far away. I need advice please. This is uncertainty is really starting to f-up my daily life. I am strong , real strong, but I cant be magic all the time.

I think you need to think to yourself if he is willing to do this to himself- can i trust him with myself and my kids? NO...he needs help but you got to think of the safety of your kids first. I hope everything works out well but i dont want to see someone getting hurt again.

This group it not as active as I would like!!!!
He need to take his meds if he won't stay on them that is a BIG problem! Im Bi-Polar and my son was 97% burnt and in a coma for 4 1/2 months. I understand where you are and I don't envy you! The good news is he will get on the right meds before they ever let him out of the hospital. The bad news is the scaring my make him in a bad space especially if his face was burnt. My son was lucky his face was spared. I'm here if I'm not on this web site you can email me direct at Nanny.Neise@gmail.com
