I've been receiving texts from a friend in UK, whose DH has had a breakdown & is now accusing her of murder, drug dealing, prostitution etc. At the moment it is being dealt with in the courts and with solicitors, but someone has to prove that he has had a breakdown and that she hasn't committed all these offences.
I find it very confusing as she doesn't have a landline or internet connection at the moment, so I only get little updates on my phone by sms. Having not spoken to her in ages, and I know that he has had a breakdown many years ago, I just find it strange that anyone is listening to these accusations, unless there is a nugget of truth in it, but surely not.
I don't know what to think, my last message from her said that they were both to be assessed by a psychiatrist. They have both been under an awful lot of stress for the past 3 years, failed business, lost their house and ended up living in a field in a caravan with 3 kids, because he wouldn't accept help from the government. So about a month ago she left him and got help from the local government who have housed her and since then he has apparently written over 200 pages of accusations and so her nightmare has begun. I know that he would feel a failure because his wife has gone elsewhere for help, but they couldn't continue the way they were.
I suppose what I am asking for is for prayers for both of them and a speedy resolution to all of this for them. I couldn't believe it when I received the 1st text, still can't i suppose, but i want to be a supportive friend but i don't know what to say and somehow it is just so much more difficult when our only point of contact is sms or a letter in the post, which takes so long. I've contemplated calling her DM, but not sure how she would react by a stranger calling and asking after her daughter as they have quite a strained relationship.
If you have read this far, thanks, just needed to get this all out!
