Child Protective Services - Page 2
Well,
at least she can do something about it now. My daughter is almost three. I am now trying to figure out how I can keep him from getting the baby that I am pregnant with. He is getting other people to call in now, or so he says, and the latest thing is the police getting a welfare call that also said that there was a prescription of valium in the house that wasn't mine. The person even said where they could find it, even though it never existed to my knowledge. The police showed up, and they never found it of course. So this is getting really old.
Answers:
After a time, the authorities will hopefully catch on and he will be the one in hot water. I talked to some people from CPS and they've told me they have a list of problematic callers who just stir the pot and that they are not to be taken seriously. Unfortunately, in many cases, the law never goes after them, they just put them on idiot patrol and call it good.
You need to lodge some complaints about this each and every time it happens. Ask CPS and the police who you speak to about false complaints, continued harassment, etc.
If ex is bi-polar, does he have a counselor or doctor that can be called and told he is off his meds and causing these problems? I know the doc can't give you information on him, but maybe they can find a way to help you put a stop to it or at least clue in the authorities that he is not stable.
Good luck, you're gonna need it, I don't think he's done with you yet.
I also doubt he can do anything about the child you are carrying. Most states won't give any custody rights to a newborn and keep it away from the mom. Check your state laws and you should consult a lawyer. If you can't afford one, a lot of women's shelters provide a free counsel night at least once a month, so check them out.

Here is the problem. I live in a small community, where there is only one med doctor for the mental health place. this doctor, actually, I don't even think she is a doctor, divides her time between many different things. sometimes she works at the hospital, sometimes at the clinic, sometimes in another town, etc. My husband's meds are NOT WORKING! he is on Seroquil, darn stuff, and had to go to the er last week because of the severe side affects from it. the med person was working at the time at the hospital, and she asked him if he could wait a few weeks before switching meds. He said yes, but he can't. none of it is working, he is still having chest pains. He went into the er because he had a temp of 103, racing heart, elevated blood pressure, and other things that are serious side effects of seroquil. I want to have him stop taking them, because I am worried about his heart. He also has a family history of heart disease. the next available appt. with this med person is November 17, which is too far away. I am not sure what to do. His mood is severely swinging, he gets angry if I look at him. then he is really hyper, then depressed, and angry. and he goes through this all day, several, several times a day. He is supposed to go into respite to change meds, but can't without this med person's okay. But she is unavailable, and he said to me that he feels like he is "going crazy". He tells me that there are a million thoughts racing around and he can't tell what any of them are. I am really worried. He says he thinks he needs to go to the hospital, but not tonight, but he doesn't want to because last time he went to get help, he was handcuffed and sent to the hospital where they wouldn't let him out. I don't think that it is good for him in the hospital, but respite care would work fine for him. He has done it before, and it made him relax and comfortable and safe while he had to change his meds. I am getting tired of these stupid "doctors" sitting on their buts and doing anything! its like they want him to be sick. I am getting really upset about this and I don't know what to do. I have depression. I have a daughter, and am pregnant. and My husband and I separated. I was doing okay, but now I need some help. I just want to lay on the floor and close my eyes and pretend I am not here. Telling me that my daughter needs me doesn't help because I know that already, and I am trying. I need something else. What does everyone else do when they are very sad. very very sad. People usually seem to believe lies rather than the truth. I suppose the truth is just too boring. My husband is out of his mind, but I can't seem to get the mental health people to intervene. How can I get people to see? I have called the mental health people, and they told me that they can't do anything until he threatens to hurt himself or someone else. Believe me, I have tried, because he needs to get some help somewhere. I don't see how people can just get away with this type of stuff. It is completely ridiculous.
Hey hun, i've been reading some of your posts, i've noticed you quoted yourself, as having depression. Are you taking any antidepressants?? Just because your husband hasn't been taking his medication for a bipolar illness, doesn't mean hes not able to distinguish; recognize right from wrong. It usually takes two too tango, there isn't just one side too every story, so maybe he has a good reason to call CPS and or maybe he doesn't but thats up too him to deside.. Trying to get somebody committed to a Mental Health hospital, because you don't want them too have custody of a child, isn't going to help the situation out either. Good luck.
Ohh, by the way, Bipolar illness is another mood disorder. So, maybe you need to have yourself checked for Bipolar disorder, yourself..Just a thought..(depression)
Answers:
No, I can gaurentee that I don't have bipolar. I have already been checked. No, the reason that I want my husband committed isn't because he is calling CPS. He gets angry, and dangerous. That is the reason. Right now, for some reason, he is angry with me. I am worried that when he realizes there is nothing coming out of this calling CPS, then he will try something else. It is true that I have depression, but my child comes first to me.
