Hi guys, I hope you are well enough.

I just thought I'd update you On Mrs B.

The hospital specialist phoned me on Monday to give me the news I'd expected - Mrs B will, eventually, be discharged to a place of full time residential care. The basic reasoning is that whilst they are able to tweak medication that should make her more comfortable, there isn't any medication that could remove the risk to me if she were to return home.

Mrs B's first marriage wasn't a good one and, after observing/treating her, they opined that in her delusional state she is mistaking me for her first husband so trying to escape the house and arming herself with weapons.

Isn't life a sh1tstorm at times - even if you're one of the good guys you can still get punished for the sins of the bad guys.

My poor soulmate - living in fear because she can't escape a history she didn't deserve.

Sorry to see that. The brain is a wonderful piece of nature, but it shows just how badly it can go wrong.

Remind yourself of the fact that she was upset/annoyed you were married, as she wanted to marry you. You've been there, for each other all these years, that has to be worth something that money can't replace.

Nor a 'Clatty Bella' either...
Medical reason for non flying..
and not s**t scared..

The 1st ..
my busiest day of the month
Would she be a relative of "Sweaty Betty" by any chance.
On the airline front, I were thinking more along the lines of the airline going under, leaving you stranded.
There's nappies for that. If they're good enough for astronauts...

Yer right hand gets an extended workout, and you get a new pen?

Thanks Classic,

Yes, I remind myself of the good years, as I used to do with her too. At the moment I'm driven to tears when I look at pictures and videos from years back but I'm sure that emotional response will ease and they will become a comfort for me at some time in the future.

Whilst the house is more peaceful now it feels spiritless without my soulmate but I'm sure time will improve that too.

The lack of support from family has been a revelation - not a single person has entered the house since the night the 'Sectioning' took place. My son thinks he may be able to visit in 3-4 weeks time. I'm going to be less generous of spirit towards them in the future as I strongly believe in treating people the way they treat me.

I'm not defending the actions of others with this bit, but maybe they feel uncertain how to react to the situation and you, without it going the wrong way.
If they're avoiding you because of what happened, I'd say you'd be right in the way you treat them from that point on. At your lowest, and in need of some support yourself and they turn their backs, says more about them than words could.

You want to sound off, there'll always be someone on here.

Yes, I've been more than generous when any of them needed financial help, or a roof over their heads during various times when they have had issues in their own lives. They were quick to make contact when they needed support but my kindness to ALL of them has not been reciprocated.

My wife's 4 children were made aware of their mother's situation years ago but 2 of her sons, both of whom we helped, have made zero effort, not even cards or a phone call. They should hang their heads in shame and I'll be telling them that if I live long enough to bump into them again.

One of her sons and her daughter have made minimal effort, with cards and 3 times a year phone calls - but at least that was better than nothing.

The only person who has ever dropped everything and come to the house when we've had a crisis has been my son.

It's not in my nature, but, I think I'll enjoy telling my wife's past family to feck off if they ever seek my help in the future.

It says more about them than they'd want you to know. They've had their chance, and when the boot was on the other foot, they've shown their true selves.

Hopefully you'll not bump in to them, and they'll not be asking for any more help from you. Meaning contact should be limited.

Our thoughts are with you.
I don't want to be cliched but she'll have the best of care which doesn't soothe things for your own mind.
Life can be so cruel to those who don't deserve it..
Families?
I have my children and the in laws, but no one from my own paternal/maternal family sides.
I've been there.
