My DH was sectioned after years of increasingly difficult, disturbing & manic behaviour. It was a dreadful time for our 3 dc and horribly stressful for me. I took advice from a support group & wrote a letter to the team treating DH, outlining what he has been like. It was very hard to write & I took this task seriously. After years drama & some extremely distressing incidents, I wanted him in a place of safety where he could be assessed & treated. At the time of writing my account, I felt a huge grave burden of responsibility but wanted to give the medics the full picture. It was not fluffy & listed loads of his mad stuff, although did mention some of his better qualities when well. My DH has somehow read this letter (medical notes, i think) & the shit has hit the fan. He wants a divorce, says I got him sectioned. After everything I have been through trying to support & keep the show on the road, I'm devastated. Did I do wrong??? Was I given crap advice by the support group? Was my subjective letter actually any use to the mental health team??
