[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Change the locks tomorrow ASAP. Call a lawyer, draft the separation agreement giving him minimal time with the kids (per his request). Do not pick up his calls, ask that he only contact you regarding the children via text or email to have written documentation of everything. Good luck to you OP.[/quote]

Yes, BTDT with a relative.  Also, I think since mental illness is a factor, it's okay to keep telling your 4 y.o. that dad is the greatest dad ever when he is healthy, but that he's experiencing some health problems (just like the baby was in the hospital).  No need to trash talk the piece of shit to his son.  Save that for us and your trusted friends or a therapist.

You're doing what is best for your kids.  Honestly, it might even be best for your husband as well. He needs space to hit rock bottom or have a come to Jesus/reality moment.  Bipolar people should not be off meds.

If possible, eventually it would be wise to see his psychiatrist with him from time to time.  Also, go to couples counseling (someone who specializes in whatever it is that he has, bipolar, whatever) to help you make a mature transition into someday co-parenting.

Good luck, sincere hugs, and be strong!!!!  Come back often for more hugs and support! [/quote]
