This might be a bit confusing...
My friend has a 5yr old son and admittedly suffers from depression, anxiety, insomnia and probably lots of other things that I am not aware of.
She is married to a controlling man (IMO) who doesn't appear to be very affectionate to her, or patient with her.
She has been in the local mental health hospital on a couple of previous occassions. Once he had her sectioned when she was heavily pregnant. I do not know the whole story.
She had a row with him recently over something trivial and (according to her) he said he couldn't cope with her and made her go voluntarily to check herself back into the hospital. She did so to prevent him sectioning her.
I have been in contact with her by text and phone and she is beside herself. She doesn't want to be with him anymore but feels he wouldn't let her see her son if she left.
She spoke to me last night to say he had sectioned her because she had gone to her DSs school to meet him after school finished. He disapproved of her going without his permission.
I don't know what is true, whether I am only hearing her side of the story, whether she is actually paranoid and dillusional, or whether there is some great injustice here.
She has asked me to find out how she can apply for visitation rights with her son. She believes there is some body who offer free legal advice and help to people.
(Legal aid?)
I am so confused. DH says I shouldn't take her calls anymore as if she is ill then I am not helping her by colluding with her paranoia.
Help?
