I Used to Believe in the Justice System

This amazes me to no end. I am a soldier in the United States Army and have been for over fourteen years. I have been married to a woman for over seven of those years with whom I have had two children with. In February of 2008 I received a phone call from her as I was on my way to work telling me that she could not handle her life and that if I did not come home to take care of my children right away she was going to kill herself. I arrived at work and told my supervisor the situation and immediately left and return home. All was well at home, by this I mean my children were safe but I had no clue where this had come from. We had a disagreement that morning but nothing out of the ordinary.

At this point we made an appointment with the family primary care physician and went to that office. I watched the children and she was taken into the back. A half our later the doctor came to me and said that I needed to take her to the emergency room at a hospital nearby. We get to the hospital and she sees a social worker who relays information to a psychiatrist and they want her to admit herself. She does and after she has been admitted she calls me at home from the hospital balling and saying she cannot stay there because the people there are crazy.  I was naïve and thought I was doing the right thing by taking care of my wife. Little did I know that she would turn everything around on me later and manipulate a court system that is unjust and totally disregarded all substantial evidence to side with a woman that has been documented to have Severe Depression, has been physically abusive to me as well is a documented drug user/ cultivator. Yes she was growing Marijuana in the basement of our home. This was not her first suicidal incident as I found out through her treatment nor was this the first battle with depression. She had been treated to no avail since the early 90’s. None of this was reveled to me until this crisis. During all of her treatment terms she admitted to using marijuana in conjunction with her treatment and admitted to growing the marijuana to a therapist and a psychiatrist when I informed them that I thought it was interfering with her treatment. She had also attempted suicide in the past.
