My husband is missing

How long has been away for?

A handhold for you OP.
I hope he turns up soon and everything is ok 💐

Oh you poor thing. Please try not to think the worst. Hopefully the police will find him very soon.

If he's in the car, hopefully the police can locate him quickly.

Has something happened that makes you think he's in danger rather than popped out? Is there anyone who can wait with you?

I hope he’s home soon x

Hope he comes back soon.

Such a hard time of year for so many. I'm hoping the fact he has the car will mean he is quickly tracked down. Does he have form for taking off?

Another hand hold here.
Maybe make yourself a cup to tea...is there someone in rl who can sit with you?

Oh goodness OP.

Has anything happened? Has he been drinking? What makes you think that he's missing rather than just gone out somewhere? How long has he been gone?

I hope that he's back very soon.

Hand hold here. Hope all is well and he's just gone for some fresh air. Has he been drinking before he took the car?

He has no history of taking off, but has been talking of killing himself recently. The doc referred him to the mental health team, he is having an assessment on Friday.

He has been gone for an hour or so I guess, but this is completely out of character and he has no access to money.

We live in the middle of nowhere, 8 miles from the nearest large village, almost 40 miles from the nearest medium sized town. , so no anpr cameras as predominantly narrow country lanes everywhere

He has been drinking today, and no, thee is no one who can sit with me, family are a 4 hour drive away

Hope he’s found soon

Another hand hold.

I hope he wasn't drinking before he took the car?

Hope the police can find him quickly. Good that he has a MH assessment on Friday, perhaps he could be referred to a local crisis team in the meantime?

Fingers crossed for you OP, keep up posted.

I hope you get some good news soon. This must be very scary for you.

Sorry to hear this, I hope he's found soon it must be horrible not knowing where he is under the circumstances.

Hand hold OP, I really hope he’s found soon. Have you called a family member or close friend? Might give you some comfort

Onalake

You can only help your own self ultimately. None of this is down to you, none of it. He is in the grips of alcoholism and the only one who can pull himself out is him.

Unless he himself properly accepts he has a drink problem there is nothing that anyone and that includes you can do to help him. He has to want to help his own self and without any input from you.

You need to be apart from him now. Hard as it is for you, he will only continue to drag you down with him otherwise.

Another here offering support.

Is there any further news yet? Have they sent an officer to sit with you?

I hope he contacts you soon

No news. What concerns me is that his phone is ringing. This means he is static somewhere as we have shockingly poor phone coverage round here.
They haven't sent an officer out no, assuming as he hasn't been gone long they are perhaps not taking it seriously at the moment, although I know this is totally out of character and he has been talking about killing himself by driving off the road.

I hope they find him soon for you. Once the police find him they maybe able to get some MH involvement going ASAP. Keeping fingers crossed for you

If you have informed the police about his state of mind and the mention of killing himself, they have to take it seriously.

Could you call the station for an update? Even if it's just to give yourself something to do...

The police do have to wait some time because he's an adult and have every right to go out without telling you. But they will have a call out on his numberplate. Is there friends/colleagues he's close to?
