I had my regular appointment with my psychiatrist yesterday and was describing her behaviour, and told him that I thought she was having some kind of psychotic break. He agreed, and explained part of the process, and suggested that I arrange to go before a justice of the peace, and ask that she be committed for evaluation, which would then have the police pick her up, and she'd be held for a minimum of 72 hours for evaluation.
I'm not sure if I'm going to do this or not. Part of me thinks she needs psych help, but I know how angry I'd be if someone did that to me. So I'm going to think about it. __________________  "I danced in the morning when the world was begun. I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun". From my favourite hymn.

I think for me IF she pulled that behavior on me again before she leaves that is exactly what I would do. One time even though it looked like it was might have just been the behavior she has learned to get her way....she didn't & now knows that doesn't work with you. Second time if it happens I think it is safe to assume it is more than a behavior issue & acting on it would be totally appropriate.
It would be hard if she is not in the process of acting that way to do anything about it. She might be angry at having to be evaluated....but that behavior warrants it if it happens again. __________________  Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
