I make a lot of jokes about that marriage, it lasted about 18wks. I married the wrong guy for the right reasons. I new he had issues, but didn't know just how bad they were until after the 'I do'. I had already been in law enforcement long enough to recognize the signs real quick. When I say I know about how good they can be when they are not being bad, I speak from experience..LOL I still miss the good side of him. Anyway, even his therapist did not think he was dangerous when I explained to her what was going on. I had to push his buttons in front of witnesses on the grounds of her medical office building in order to get someone to realize what was going on. It was at that point I was able to get an emergency commitment. They kept him long enough for me do what I had to do. Never saw him again. Point being. He could charm her when he needed to. And retaliate as soon as he was away from her and had me alone. I heard it took 7 orderlies to get him restrained to a gurney once he realized it was involuntary and he couldn't walk out. yeah, he could turn it on/off, but he was indeed mentally ill. No excuse for his abusive behavior. He used his illness as an excuse to abuse... a lot of them do.

I'll shut up now... sorry
