If he is in and out of it how does he know what he wants? My husband tells me that he wants to leave but then his mom tells me that he doesn't know what he wants. For instance, if he says, Amy come get me, she says he doesn't know what he wants. He is in and out of it. But if he even remotely agrees with her he is okay. Can someone explain this to me? In my mind if he is out of it then he wouldn't be able to tell me what he wants. Can you please help me understand this? He sounds like he knows what he wants but then she plays it out to be he is sooo out of it that he has no idea what he is saying or what he wants. Is it possible for him to say come and get me and yet not know what he wants?

I've been told to call Adult Protective services to go check on him cause that is their job. I have called them every day this week and last week and I keep getting the run around. I'm passed from person to person and none of them care or even know what to do. And to be quite honest and to the point it makes me angry. I have no idea how my husband is. I don't know if he is okay and they don't seem to care. Do you have any suggestions?
Then, I was told to call the police to go do a welfare check. So I did. And they haven't gone. I don't know what to do.
He contacted me Friday and said he wanted to leave but then he goes days or weeks without contacting me. I don't understand why he does this. Is it an epilepsy thing or a guy thing? Does the epilepsy make him forget me? I'm so confused.
Everyone, police, lawyers, and such, tells me that unless he decides to leave that there isn't anything I can do. They say he is the one who has to press charges for kidnapping. They told me that yes I could take a police officer to go get him but yet he may change his mind and not leave. I'm not sure if its the epilepsy, fear, guilt, or what but its like he will say, I hate it hear I want to leave. I want someone to come get me but then he never follows through with it.
But yet isn't there something APS or the police can do? Can't they go check on him? Its like they don't want to. I'm angry at him, his mom, the police, and APS. I feel like I've hit a wall. I don't sleep and I barely eat because I'm worried about him. Its 2:40am here and all I can do is cry because I'm worried.
Yes, I know he is an adult. I get that. I hear everyone who tells me that. But he has been completely isolated from me and his other friends and family, no one has heard from him in days, she reads all his mail, email, facebook, texts and ect, I think she is using his ssn for stuff, he isn't supposed to drive, and the last time I heard anything he didn't look good.
How do I get help for him? Everyone says he has to be the one to leave but at the same time I'm worried that he has it in his head that he is a prisoner. And I don't know what may have happened to him mentally seizure wise in the last few months.
Please help. I'm starting to get discouraged.View Thread
