Introduction Part 2 - Midlife Misery

Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode I expand more on the intricacies of Involuntary Psychiatric Holds across the US. I speak to the criteria for why a person can be held, who can initiate the hold and what the legal process is. 

I give more detail on how my life has changed since that fateful day on February 13th, 2024 when my spouse took me to a mental hospital when I asked him to take me to an emergency room, due to extreme physical symptoms that I was suffering. Because of my spouse's severe DISHONESTY & OUTRIGHT LIES - that he made to the medical staff in the ER.  I was subsequently held on an involuntary psychiatric hold  - WITHOUT any Law Enforcement involvment and  - WITHOUT making any contact with my Acting Psychiatrist of over 4 years.  - WITHOUT being informed of the fact that I HAD LEGAL RIGHTS TO PROTEST THE HOLD - by ANYONE IN THE HOSPITAL OR THE INTERIM HOLDING FACILITY

I tell a little more about how my life was DRAMATICALLY impacted by this event when my spouse of almost 10 years decided to ABANDON ME and the marriage one month later while I was taking a shower one morning. He literally LEFT THE apartment and the state (so he claims) and told me he did not plan to return to me or our life and planned on filing for divorce. He made good on his promise - the divorce part anyway - and filed for divorce in April.

Since April my spouse has stopped at NOTHING to continue to make my life as miserable as possible and has blamed me for the entire situation including the demise of our marriage claiming that I "won't admit to anything that" I have done in the situation & claiming that he has done "everything to help" me and I obviously don't want it - spoken like the true NARCISSISTIC POS that he is

My spouse is essentially blaming me for having a mental illness and further blaming me for not admitting MYSELF INTO A MENTAL INSTITUTION because they cannot hold me......ya know since MENTAL HOSPITALS don't HOLD THOSE THAT ARE SANE & AGAINST THIER WILL

I explain a little more about my Dad, the Police Officer and his legacy that my hometown is perfectly fine to keep ignoring, despite the very BLUE LIVES MATTER heavy density of its residents - I guess apparently "mattering" doesn't apply to the "mental health" affected sector of the "Blue Lives" here - not within the current Police Department or City Council anyway

My spouse took advantage of my preoccupation and focus on my Dad and decided, "hey, now is the perfect time to make her look crazy and try to kill her." FUN TIMES YA'LL
