Thank you all.

Sabby, I think that is a good idea. If the situation comes up where I have to leave I will leave some information for him and maybe a letter too. So far I've been able to handle him and he hasn't hurt anyone physically. I really don't think I need to involve the cops here. If I do it will be on a personal level where I go into the station and talk to them about my situation and ask if they can talk to him. It's a very small town and all the cops know my husband. The chief of police use to be his uncles partner (he's a retired detective). They all kind of know of the situation and that he is not all there. I don't want to resort to calling 911.

50Guy that sounds so much like my husband. Its good know that this doesn't have to be forever. That there is help for him if he seeks it and wants it. I hate how you can't make people do things.

RozG and Angel of the past thank you for your support and kind words.

Junerain I'm hoping that step is not necessary, he has never hurt anyone physically. I think I'd be okay at my Moms. If I ever thought he was in a violent phychotic state, I would call the police to make him go to a crisis center.

RozG, thank you so much for the offer, it's nice to know that you are so willing to be there for others. My husband was special forces for the Navy; he has lots of little corks. He stashes knives everywhere, I found one in my visor of my truck, I've found them under the mattress, in the rafters in the basement, on top of the entertainment system, on my bakers rack, no place suprises me. (he won't have a gun in the house he doesn't trust himself). Plus knives was his forte. Luckily I have quick reflexes, one time I snuck up on him (I learned that is a big no, no, won't ever do that again lol!). I have to call him before I come home that way he knows it's me walking through the door. I wake him from a distance (learned that quickly too). If he is woken in a deep sleep he will wake in another world sometimes not a good on (he sleep walks and talks), so I let him sleep were he falls. One time he woke up thinking he was reading something in Arabic (don't want him to wake in that world!) And lots of little stuff like the way he has to have his cloths folded and he labels everything that is his, ect..

Thank you everyone for your responses, advice and kind words. This is a really great support system for me. I have a large family but they don't understand, they don't view it from a distance, they will immediately hate him. With all the kids it's impossible to get out, so this works wonderfully for me. Thank you all!

Sorry for the long response, again!
