UPDATE: Well I have taken all advice into consideration and wanted to update everyone who's been helping. I have gone to the police and was told that unless he says he is suicidal or homicidal or tried to assault me, they can do nothing.

I am still waiting for the hospital my husband was in to call me back. I have little hope they will and I have left 2 messages so far. I contacted the state advocacy office and was informed that what I was told by a lawyer about getting guardianship so I can have my husband committed again isn't true and was told to call NAMI and see if they had any other options. I simply cannot understand how I have this proof that my husband needs help and isn't thinking "normally" but essentially unless he wants it nobody can help him or have him committed with a court order but...nobody will help me get a court order and since I was denied the first time for reasons still unclear to me, unless I can find a lawyer who does pro-bono to help me take my husband to court, I'm ***** out of luck.

I started therapy this morning and I feel okay about it. I just wish I could help my husband. I received an email from him and he said wants nothing to do with me anymore and there will be no further contact from him and he is going to ignore any from me.

So... I don't know what else can be done. My therapist reassured me that given his history he will end up in a hospital because of his heart or "Bipolar" sooner or later. Also she confirmed what a lot of you have suggested about his dx not being Bipolar but being Borderline, which makes a lot of sense to me now. She also said that sometimes when people snap they might not ever be the way they were again and I need to learn how to deal with that.
