I don't have any money, my husband withdrew the money from our joint accts via cash so I would not even know where to look for money if I needed it, and I have 3 children. The day I found out he had drained our accounts I went to the family center for domestic abuse but when I got there it was to late the judge was gone, they gave me the choice of staying at a shelter overnight or going home and I decided to go home because of my children. While I was at the family center my husband was on the phone with my doctor telling him that I have been disappearing for long periods of time and know one would know where I was and how he was concern for my safety, which was false because other then this day I had always accounted to him for every moment I was gone. I thought because this was the 1st time him did not known where I was that he would forgive me and leave me alone. Unfortunately the doctor believed him, and he had me committed, I can't go through that again, its a feeling of such shame I can't describe. The people from the family center could not help me since they did not know me before I came in that day. He has also over the years been discrediting me to my family and friends, and now that I was hospitalize it only gave him more credibility that I must have psychiatric problem. Some days I do wonder if there is something wrong with me, since my family and friends who care about me believe I have a problem, and maybe I need to come to terms with it.
I thought if I could find a psychiatrist who could do a psychiatric evaluation on someone in my situation, I would at least have an accurate diagnosis (good or bad), receive the proper treatment, and then through a therapist find out what my options are. I know I need to be sure that I do have an accurate diagnosis.
