My cousin and her husband were sittin in the living room the other night watching a movie, her husband had Diabetic seizure, and she sat there and watched him almost die, until his and her daughter walked in and called the ambulance and my family, after coming out of the hospital, he went to stay with his grandmother for awhile, she came over there to get him and beg him to come home, he told her that she needed to go talk to someone, She agreed went out to the car with her son and daughter in car, and tried to run him down with her car, She ran into the wall the kids jumped out the back and she backed up and proceeded to continue to run into the wall, destroying the car she blamed it on him, He calmed her down by going home with her, and then she said she would kill him if he saw his family again, OUR family have no idea what to make of this someone have any idea's what to make of this??? please help!

He needs to take the kids and run. My brother in law was married to a lady that behaved like that (took a gun to his head) Leaving her was the best thing for them all. She does better without the stress of a full time family and the children and him are definitely more stable than ever.

she sounds like she wants him dead. patholgical to say the least.

I would have called the cops on her for damage to property and possibly endangering a life.

BTW: Not calling for Medical is as bad as attempted murder with a weapon that alone should get her 10-15

I agree, he should take the kids and leave and not let her know where he is for a while. This is just the same situation so many women in this country are in and we always tell them to leave their husbands when they are abused.

I'm not sure what you're asking about this being associated with, but it sounds like some behavior typical of someone with antisocial personality disorder (a sociopath) to me. I am bipolar & I HAVE feelings. He needs to remove himself & the children from her & she needs professional help, although the prognosis for sociopaths is not always a good one. I know how they behave, my father was one! Not a good situation for children at all.

This is only based on the info here. Of course you know that a only professional could advise you & your cousin about this situation. I hope things get resolved!

Sounds like a police matter, but since he went back with her and exposed his kids to her dangerous behavior they might put him in jail too, or take the kids away. He sounds just as looney as her sorry!

he needs a restraining order at the very least

I wouldn't blame the illness entirely. It's terrible what happened to him and strange her natural caring instinct didn't come into play, there is something more happening with their family. I do wish you well though and pray things will improve. God bless!

After reading this again I'm having a hard time understanding how your cousin could go back to her after she was just going to let him die like that??? Also the children, they really do need to get away from her, she sounds very dangerous.

    long story short - I've been feeling unwell for several months. Looking at my mood charts I realised that things had been gradually getting worse year on year - several months of depression in the spring, several moths of agitation / nasty hypomania in the later summer / autumn.So getting fed up with treating myself with seroquel prn I arranged to see my psychiatrist, first time in years.I made...
