This is not the first time he has threatened me with a divorce, and also leaving me on welfare if he ever won enough money to do so, and get out of here. Married for 58 years and he claims I do everything in secrecy, even though I take him to all his appointments, rush him to the ER when he has severe problems, (sometimes when they are not, I have found), lost count over these years of how often I did that....he gets mad when I want to go up and visit my daughter, 7 miles away, wants me to be at his beck and call.
I see a counselor every so often, and had to finally explain why, he went bonkers last week, right after I came home from a support group I have been attending just to get away from him for an hour or so, this is when he threatened me the last...I was ready to grab the phone and dial 911, he was that threatening. I made an app. with our neurologist and will see him in a couple more days...explained situation, can't take much more.
have you reported these behaviours to them? Have you discussed your fear for your safety? If not I think you should straight away. Also it could be worth a visit to your local police station to speak with someone about this and what options you have to call them. You need to start building a case and a timeline. I think you could be in trouble here. Is it possible to stay with someone else till this gets resolved?
Is it possible to have him placed in a facility? Applying for Medicaid might be an option. As Community Spouse, you will not be left destitute. It doesn’t sound like you have much of a life, and this could go on for a long time if he is physically healthy. Please consider it before he causes serious physical harm to you. The guns are gone but what about knives and scissors? He sounds like he has the potential.
Thank you.
