[quote=Anonymous]So sad, and so incredibly hard.  I agree w/ PP - your friend should use the therapist as a resource, and can also call the suicide hotlines for other ideas of resources.

My own personal, untrained, uninformed gut instinct is that if she is afraid he may hard himself in the house with the kids there, that is serious.  What is best for the children would be for him to leave (probably) but that may not be possible given the behavior you're describing.  So she might actually have to leave to feel safe for her and the children.

However, this may actually call for some level of intervention with the option of psychiatric care.  If that's the case then enlisting family and friends to help could be important (and it is important for her to have support also.)

Overall, I think you need to help her find support and resources that are with trained professionals who can help her figure out how to do this as safely as possible (for everyone involved).  You can be part of her support network but try to do that by getting her professional help (perhaps on several fronts).

I wish them all well.  Be sure to not forget that you need to keep your own best interests in mind through this process as well.  [/quote]
