The Snake Pit

So the ex-SO is back in the snake pit as of Thursday afternoon.

I rec'd several phone calls over the day about possible credit card fraud on Wednesday. He ended up spending over $2000 in a matter of hours. Police were called for three of the stores he was in and he was evicted from each - but only after spending lots of dough. The policewoman described him as manic and not making sense but she didnt put him in the hospital. He told her all kinds of stories - I like the one about having three wives and how they were related to the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. He bought 1400 worth of clothes and 500 of luggage. Why didnt she put him away?

Thursday morning, apparently around 8:30 a.m., he ran the car into something and was taken to Mercy Hospital by the paramedics to be put in the psyche ward there. From there, he signed himself into the hospital his psychiatrist is at. He was transferred there on Thursday nite.

Friday he wanted his brother to "seal" the car and got very angry when he asked him where the car was. Then he told him he doesnt want any contact with anyone but he could call once a day and leave a msg. In the afternoon, he called our local police dept and told them that our son had stolen the car my son always drives - its his being a gift from his uncle. (He called from the hospital.) At nite he called his brother to bring one of his psyche meds as his doc would no longer let him have it. Then he told him if he doesnt bring it then to write a prescription for it and bring that.

The good thing is the BIL and I are back on normal speaking terms. I am not a bad person and neither is he and there was no reason for him to treat me like the enemy. Now at least he sees the stories being told about me were the sick psychotic meanderings of a lunatic.

Being in on Thursday means he can come out on his own on Tuesday. We (my ILs and I and my son) are waiting to see what his doc has to say next week. Our best hope is he is kept involuntarily until he exits this little world he has entered.
