What Do I Do ?
Posted: 06-19-07 09:46am

I really don't know where to start. My wife and I have been together for ten years, we married only 10 months ago. We lost our pregnancy on the day (night) that we were married. It seems as though everything went down his from there. We actually had another miscarriage seven months prior to the second as well.

About four months ago my wife started accusing me of of just about everything in the world that can one can be accused of. She said i was cheating on her, had a baby with another woman, and that i was talking with the police to have her arrested for life. she was taking Seragouel (sp?) during that time, but got off of the medication because she didn't want to take it. we argued all of the time due to the nonstop accusations and eventually she started telling me that she was afraid of me. The next thing I know she has me locked up. I went to jail three times total across three weeks. eventually when I went to court I was cleared of everything because my wife's mental illness was obvious at time when she took the stand. unfortunately I had to get an apartment and have stayed away fro almost three months due to all of this. when I speak to me wife now she is completely delusional. She claims that she hears voices (or in her words "a two way radio" from the FBI or SBI) that keeps her up all night.

I am tired of being passive about his as my wife needs help, but no one will listen. When I spoke to mental health they looked at me as an abuser because of the charges (communication threats) she took out on me. No one there wanted to help. my wife constantly says that she is going to jail for life (no basis in reality) and will not hear anything form me that conflicts with her beliefs.

her aunt FINALLY sees there is a mental problem and took her to a local mental health institution and they set her up for a once a week meeting and placed her back on the same medication as before. the doctor asked her aunt things lie, "how do you now she is not telling h truth?" and 'how do you know her husband isn't abusive?", so it goes without saying that I have no faith in their institution.

I miss my wife and I worry about her every minute, how do i get her help? How do i be help in my weird situation? everyone thinks it's better for me to stay away as i seem to make her worse when i speak with her. she turns everything I say around into something outlandish. I have no idea what to do? Please help...

I'm sorry about what you're going thru, about your wife hearing voices, I'm not an expert but someone close to me is or rather had the same symptom she was dignosed as schizophrenic. Have you told the doctor about the symptom?

my bipolar ex said he sometimes can hear a transistor radio playing old time country music within the walls of his home. I don't think just because one hears voices/noises, that classifies them as a schizophrenic. Having delusions falls under bipolar as well.

Make sure your wife is getting the proper medications. But if she's not, give her the space she needs.
