[quote=Anonymous]I love my wife very much, but I can no longer take her abuse.  She is mentally ill and desperately needs help.  Her illness manifests itself, among other symptoms, if fits of violent anger.  Last night, we went out to a work function and while there I was talking with a woman at our table.   On the way home, my wife became verbally abusive and then struck me with her closed fists while I was driving.  She hit me on the head, in my ribs and on my back and shoulders.  She also grabbed the steering wheel and attempted to pull the car over at speed.  When we got home, I held onto the key so that I could get my things from the back of the car.  In an attempt to get me to let go of the key, she bit my hand, leaving teeth marks and drawing blood.  I then put it my pocket.  She grabbed my trousers while I was getting my things and ripped the pocket from the back.  When I looked into her eyes it was as if she was possessed by some kind of demon.  It was horrible.  I have been witness to/victim of her tirades before, but really nothing ever like this. How do I know she will not just take a knife in the middle of the night and plunge it into me.  I only thank God our kids were not there to see this!  If I file a protective order, she will end up living on the streets.  If I could get her involuntarily committed - at least for initial observation/evaluation - that would be good.  I cannot go on like this.  [/quote]
