Hi wittlebee
So sorry to hear you are having such a rough time

but very glad to hear you are taking action to protect yourself and hopefully improve the situation. I hope it wasn't hard to get him in and that he works with it as well toward improvement.
I don't really have any idea on the legal/medical issues concerning keeping him in... but maybe there's an information hotline that could guide you, or the doctors at the hospital, or the police or something?
If worse comes to worst and he gets out and you are afraid for your safety you might want to contact a friend or women's shelter for options on a place to stay so that you feel safe and are safe. It couldn't hurt to find out now so that you can be prepared with all your choices whatever happens.
Good luck and keep us posted.
