In reply to the discussion: My husband's bipolar delusions are back [View all]DRoseDARs
(6,810 posts)24. An interesting and disheartening response.
I would have thought therapists would have a bit more training to handle situations beyond giving no-duh advice. And that's kinda my point, if the husband decided to involve himself the hotel might take action absent context. He needs to knock this shit off and come home before he does something stupider.
The best course for her is to start with contacting the old therapist and go from there.
