I think staying in touch and being a friend and a nonjudgemental sounding board is the best possible thing you could do for him right now. He should probably be seeing a counselor as well, as dealing with a loved one who is mentally ill is taxing on anyone.
Chance took her to the psyc ward to get her help, they turned her away They gave her some pills & pushed her out the door.. sigh.. Chance is trying to get her to take the pills, but I'm not sure how well its going.. hes giving her a little space, so she can try to calm down, so he can get near her, to help her.

He wont get a restraining order against her.. Shes not hunting him down & beating the heck out of him.. Its when he goes to their home & something goes wrong (like dropping a piece of paper, or some random movement) will trigger her & BAM shes beating the heck out of him... I don't think shes hurting him cause shes mad at him, I think its more of a built up anger release, cause if hes not infront of her, she'll go after the wall & thats how shes really hurting herself (that I know of).

Shes not home anymore. (they have been talking on msn(yesterday)) & she is now gone to Quebec to stay with a uz. for a week or so. Chance is hoping that she'll be able to relax & come back to her sences, as everything there will be different & her current stresses will be gone.

Hes very worried for her safety & health.. hes keeping VERY close tabs on her. If Chance is the same Chance I knew, he wont give up, until made to, or until it kills him. Hes the most trustworthy, loyal man you'll ever meet. Ya he has a lot of faults, but never towards a loved one.


I'm usually pretty good at not being judgemental in situations kinda like this. I usually just ask questions to get him talking, & so I know what has been done, etc. Then I'll have you tried this? I've heard it works.. But I'm at a total loss for this one... I know what its like to loose your mind, but not to this degree/length...
