Some advice please, what would you do?

AFAIK, most A&E departments at hospitals also have an on-call psychiatrist. So if your GP turns out to be a chocolate teapot who thinks that mental health issues don't exist, there's the option of going to the local A&E, especially out of hours.
Without knowing what area the OP is in, it's difficult to offer specific advice as to what services operate in the locality.
OP, I hope you can get some professional help for your OH soon. If you need to have him sectioned, then so be it, do so with a clear conscience. it's not fair on you or the kids to have to live with him being so unstable. Can't really offer you much more than that, other than best wishes.

I can see where you are all coming from and yes I am going to call his crisis team tomorrow, even though the last few days he's been fine. I know he doesn't see his mh doctor often as they reduced the visits because he's had no relapses for a few years. As for his meds I thought he had been taking them because I'd been checking where he keeps them, but now they've disappeared so I'm not sure. I really do know that me and the kids are in no immediate danger, I've lived with him and his illness for 9 years, he's not and hasn't been violent in any way whatsoever when he's fine and when he's not well. But again I know people can flip when not thinking/acting normal. Thanks

For gods sake just get away from this man.....for now, im not saying forever but just while hes like he is and receiving better help. This is a terrible atmosphere to bring kids up in. Its hard enough bringing kids up without this going on. You have a place to go ...just do it for your kids sake temporarily at least. Now!!!! Do you really want to be with someone who thinks your scum...for god sake

He is on medication and has been for several years but he's never spoke to me like this before.

If he's never been like he currently is then you believe, but you can't KNOW.

Thank you for coming back, please do keep us informed (in a non-nosey way!).

I don't have anything practical to add other than to say please please do phone the crisis team tomorrow. Whatever the level of risk to you and your children, this is an awful situation for your kids to live within. As others have said, the worrying thing is than you don't seem to perceive this to be as bad as it sounds to everyone else.

Please, please get help xxx

I think we should all draw a line under the alarmist stuff for now, Evian is going to get help in the way she thinks is most appropriate for her family and circumstances.

Lots of luck Evian and don't be fobbed off!

His medications have disappeared (why is that then?) you're not at all sure what's happening and still you are going to wait until tomorrow to take any further action?

I give up, really I do .. I'm already choked with helpless anxiety for you all and I fully expect to soon be reading the same newspaper report as Jojo.

Why did you ask us what you could do and what we thought and felt if you were so blasted sure that you knew all about it, knew just what to do, were fully in control of it all and needed no input from anyone else?

Tell me .. what does your mother, and other loving members of both your family and your husband's, advise you to do?
