My ex-husband refuses to let me get on with my life. He was emotionally abusive while we were married but became physically abusive after I left. He has seen Dr's and been an out patient a couple of times since we seperated but he still can not accept the fact that I left. He has threatened suicide a couple of times and has stalked, beaten, raped and taped me over the last year. I want his family to get involved and try to help him because I believe that he feels like no one loves him and by his family not getting involved it is just making him more desperate to try to keep me. He wants to be loved more than anything else I think that is why he won't let go. He thinks everyone he ever loved has left him so he thinks he can stop me. Do you know of any programs or ca you suggest what needs done?

He sounds as if he is bi-polar besides being controling, and manipulative... you need to stop trying to take responsibility for his not feeling loved. Do you have restraining order and stalkng orders? If not get them.ASAP. Mean while, dont be somewhere alone, where you can get to you. Contatct the da office in your town and keep recrods of what when and where and why he contacts you.
