How do you say to your sibling: " I never knew that your spouse was so unhappy that they would take this action..." ? I never saw this coming. Certainly there were ups and downs, like any other marriage. But this???
We had talked, chatted, visited and been family for almost 30 years. Intimately, as family members do. The good, the bad, and the difficult and ugly moments and situations. But at this moment our family is reeling from this totally unexpected action.
I am confused, hurt, and at a loss. I don't know what to say to either "side".
What I do hear and see....is hurt, and fear and the whole scale of emotions in both of them.
The last few weeks have been midnight sessions with mediation, and also hospitalization. Police, doctors, pastors, friends, family. Anybody, everybody involved. Trying to mediate, trying to medicate. To find a way to calm the vindictive, vengeful and hurling out of control person down. To get them out of their altered psychotic state....one way or the other. Before they harm anyone or themselves further.
Decisions will have to be made, choices, and new directions. With or without the other.
My heart goes out to all.
