Well, he finally messaged me back at 1:47am.
"You hope I make your decision.
I know what my problem is, and how to fix it.
You are leaving my house, one way or another.
If you really care about me, you will leave on your own with no hassle, otherwise, I'm having my dad remove you from the house.
That's that You Brandi, are the control freak, the police seen it...
everybody sees it!! I am done with putting up with you. I am done with having no friends or family on my side. I am done with being ashamed of my own life...
You must leave. You are, and have always been the problem, and I don't even care if you get the help that YOU need."
So, I wrote back to him that I'm trying to help him, and the police were my last resort. I don't know how else to help him if he won't help himself. We both recognize he's spinning out of control, and he admitted that to the police. I went on to say I don't care if it's a hospital he gets help at, a counselling centre, or the after hours clinic, but he needs to speak to an outside, neutral third party long term to get over whatever is bothering him. He claims it's the situation surrounding Anberlin, but it only seems to bother him when we're fighting and he wants to hurt me. I don't know if it truly does still bother him, but if it does, it sure fools me. I told him that he needs help to overcome that so that he doesn't continue to get worse and end up taking his anger and frustration out on her. I told him I know that there is more bothering him than just that and I'm his most convenient target, so he's projecting his anger on me. So, I went on to explain that a third party can help him, and that I don't want to keep him from the kids. It's already breaking my heart for them to be asking for him and he's not around and he won't answer the phone, but I cannot continue to allow them to see him get so out of control. I can't allow him to continue to scream at me and them over little things, or threaten to hit me anymore. That's not fair to them, and he knows it. I ended the message by saying I'm giving him one week to make his decision on whether he seeks counselling or I'm hiring a custody lawyer and asking for supervised visitation until he gets help.
Am I really being that unreasonable?
