[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 762985, member: 4152"] I'm so sorry. How emotionally devastating, draining and scary. When he threatens to kill you and himself, I believe you must call the police. For your protection AND his. Number one here is safety. Literal life safety. Number two is that he needs to understand "logical consequences." He says such things, and there are clear cut consequences. One or more that he likely wont like, but that is irrelevant. A lot at stake here. This is all urgent/vital. Also, does he have a key to your house? If you think he might, it's urgent that you change the locks. Seriously consider getting an alarm for your house, if you don't have one already. Get a ring doorbell installed if you don't have one already. If you have any jewelry or other valuables, double or even triple lock it. For example, keep it in a locked room, in a locked closet, in a locked safe. Boundaries are imperative here. It's good you reached out to us. Some of us have gotten help by attending meetings of various 12 step groups like Families Anonymous, NAMI, NA, etc. IF nothing else, their literature is excellent. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
