[quote=Anonymous]My ex husband was exactly like this at age 23...he was, I am nearly certain, in the early stages of severe incapacitating mental illness. I dont think his parents or really anyone noticed how bad off he was until we divorced. Inside the relationship with him it was insane. And what made it worse was that everyone around him took the stay out of it attitude. I felt like I was in a psychological horror film and no one except one therapist and two friends who lived several hours away kept giving me a reality check. I own my mistakes but damn...of the HUGE social support network he had not a single person FORCEFULLY spoke up. Everyone was meek and said "its their relationship, hes an adult, blah blah blah). I left him quite abruptly for my safety and figured his family would help him. They did but last I heard he was jobless and homeless.  It is the saddest shit ever...and a lot of shit could have been prevented or minimized if someone had recognized and treated his illness earlier...before I ever entered the picture.

Stay out if you wish but I am forever thankful to the people in my life who didnt care if they pissed me off and spoke loudly and clearly to me about exactly what they thought.  [/quote]
