    Next thing i know the auntie calls and i tell her im thinking about flying her and Aone back to Lao in about a weeks time. She was horrified ,no no definately dont do that. Phann ( her mum) is as daft as a brush but lovely she wont be able to control her daily medication probably think the temple will sort it out. Ive done a complete backflip now. I now know its better shes here until they get the medication right. Its sad shes back under lock n key basicly but she is safe i will give her a few days before try to talk to her again . I love her with all my heart but ive gotta put the kids and me first ive got fuckall family here.only a few friends.i was oversears so long lost touch with a lot of folk

    She messaged my oldest boy last night and said mummy will go to Lao soon become a monk sell the house live better life in australia, he was confused so we had a good chat even though he was born there he was a ha sip ha sip and went to international school so doesnt really relate to buddhism stuff. I told him mums sick mentally and is confused at the moment but dont worry shes safe and getting better?

    I'm confused to why anyone thinks her being in Laos week fix anything? The county is not a magic pill. The health care is shit. When not fukking if she kicks off who is gonna help her and what's gonna happen? She night end up chained to a bed. As hard as it is keeping her in Aus in this hospital with occasional nights out sounds best
    Exactly

    Agreed, listen to proper advice. Not the dumb fucks here on TD (and that includes me), but that mental health nurse friend, and the docs will know best. Not family, not friends, however well meaning.

    I have been reading this thread since the beginning and really do feel sorry for what you are having to endure but stay strong for the kids. My thoughts and they don't have any basis other than what I have read in your posts.
    It appears to me like she is craving the life you led before in Laos and that really wasn't the country it was the not worrying about having enough money for the good life. Hence she wants to win Lotto to have all the money she could ever need. Asking you to buy her stuff, thinking of selling the house (I assume its a house in Laos) etc. etc. These worry's have manifested themselves in her behaving irrationally in strange ways but in my opinion if you were to sent her back to Laos the money issues would only be worst. Expecting family to help her would be a pipe dream and from what I have seen from my wife's Thai family they would be like leeches and only make the money problems worse.

    All I really say is I hope it all works out for the best, good luck.

    BLD, I would echo Ootai's words.

    We've had PMs about this and you know how I feel, but from my experience the last people I would trust for help if this happened to us, would be the wife's family. I make no judgements but this would be my opinion if this happened to my wife.

    I worry for you but really have no advice... other than don't rush into anything. And keep her close, don't let her go to Laos alone. You are her hope.

    Good luck mate.

    As I've written earlier in this thread, I've met BLD & his wife. This was when I was on holiday in Vientiane. From what little that I saw of them, they are good people. They fed me lunch and gave me a mini tour of their city. They didn't have to, but I'm grateful for the hospitality. I hope I can return the favour one day.

    I'm glad that most of the TD guys have been concerned & helpful.

    BLD, we all wish you the best during these trying times.

    I am not sure if the hospital has provided you with any medical opinion yet Lao. Going forward you probably need a diagnosis with a treatment plan and prognosis in order to make strategic family decisions.

    Must be a huge challenge for you and the boys. Keep on keepin on.

    Its truly heart wrenching when mental illness strikes a family, I don't want to say anymore because of ridicule.

    But I wish you and yours all the best.

    Thanks joe. Most td punters will probably save the ridicule for your cooking posts. I appreciate your thoughts about her though. Just called her but again it was non sense . She doesnt know she has a problem thinks i should be in hospital. Not her. It was a short conversation i could see where it waz heading.

    Even if she did, that's gotta be hard on the kids.

    Sorry to hear this. She is no where near healed/ready.

    Today she asked if i could take her out for a few hours so she could setup a new bank account i asked if she wanted to shut down her old one and why she wanted both. Apparently she just wants a new one so the bankcard can be blue the other accounts got a pink card. Told the doc about this and hes now saying shes a long way off being ok. Said we will see how she is by the weekend might be able to take her home for a couple of days. When i visited her shes sullen and cant understand why shes there, reckons theres nothing wrong with her.

    The doc will write me a letter that her mum can include with her visa application , it might help speed up her application, worth a try
