Hi Jade,
By trial and error I am managing a little bit to deal with it. Indeed, when he is in a bad mood I just leave, telling him I will come bacj when he feels he wants to see me.
Last night he got into an argument with the (very kind) nurses about a little thing and he descided to leave. He called me to pick him up. In mean time docots came to talk to him because they think it is better he stays, but they didn't have enough hard reasons keep him involuntary. During that time I was just waiting what they were going to do and I tried to talk to my boyfriend, but it is hard to talk any reasoning with him. So he got angry, accusing me that I'm not listening etc. He is not physical violent, just words.
So he descided to break the relationship, (although yesterday I was still his "super woman"). The waiting took so long that he said I could go home and he would stay there overnight. Just two hours ago he was determined to go home!He was so angry that he extinguished a burning sigaret on his hand, without any sign of pain.
Anyway, for now he is still there and I'm still here, tomorrow is another day, Am I single now or what?I do understand the legal and privacy things of the doctors, I did have talk, but only to tell my story and experiences, which was helpfull for the doc, but he couldnot give me any info. The nursing staff is very kind and they do give me a little info at least they listen carefully because they say for them it is also usefull to know how he was as a "normal" person. It seems that they still don't know what is exactly wrong with him an dhow to treat it.
Well this is my story for tonight.
Thanks for your reply Jade.Putih
