My husband is suicidal and I don't know what to do. Most of the time I avoid confrontation with him because if he gets too upset he says he is going to kill himself. Last night we got into a fight and he backed me up against the wall and was screaming at me. I was afraid he was going to hurt me. I honestly wanted to leave him but I stay with him because I don't want him to hurt himself. I do love him very much and I want our marriage to work but I don't think it's fair to me or my son that we have to put up with this. It is getting to the point that I can't share with him how I am feeling because I am too afraid of what he will do. He already takes medication for depression and bipolar disorder. This morning he thought everything was okay and I told him that he scared me last night and that I want him to get help. Well, he threatened to kill himself again this morning. He even got a gun out but I talked him out of it. I don't know what to do. My son is only 5 months old and I don't want him growing up in this kind of environment. I need some help. Please, can someone give me some advice? What should I do?
















Hi, Tammy! I am very sorry to hear about your husband. In spite of the fact that he is under treatment, it does not seem that the treatment is working. You
