Ok, so I'm trying to finish a divorce with my ex. I've got a lawyer, and he's working on that. She left me with the 3 kids, then forced herself back in. She has Bipolar2, anxiety, depression and apparently PTSD, possibly more, any case not from me. So she's living in my basement, at this point, whether it's from medication, her eating issues, whatever, (want her to be better, on her own feet and get out of my house)
The situation here is almost every night and I'm guessing during the day (kids are at school and at this point I have it so she's never left alone with the kids. ) She gets confused here and there, ie has no idea what's going on, thinks the kids or I are going somewhere or she is when nothing is going on, and if there is she's been told. In the past this would last an hour or more, and I'd get her to go to her parents, etc.. Now it seems like it's a it happens then she's fine 2 minutes later, maybe? I'm wondering if she's just realizing she's confused and not saying anything out of fear I'll call the cops? If I ask her something 10 -20 min later she seems to know what's going on. And then is like I'm fine, and that she's not going anywhere. Aside from that she'll have points where she can move around, then like as of 5 tonight, most of the time she's barely keeping her balance and walking like a 80 year old, who lost her cane, grabbing onto things for support.
Besides the mental stuff, she throws up most food that she eats, which I'm sure contributes to the problem. At this point the kids don't even bat an eye when she scrambles to the toilet to throw up and we can all hear it.
So the Q is what do I do, at the moment I'm kinda waiting for the lawyer to get things moving. But should I be calling the cops? I don't want to call them, have them and an EMT look her over and say nothings wrong. Call children and Youth/CPS? Crisis? I have no idea. I mean I admit it I don't want her near me or the kids for a lot of reasons, some may be part of the anger etc from her bailing (I am seeing a counselor), cheating, and she did endanger the kids several times.
But I know this isn't good for the kids, she just sees it as she needs to be near them, and yes my younger two do ask for her. Now if I bring up that this isn't good for them her response is that she's just sitting there, and doesn't do anything. And when she does get up, she tells them she has a charley horse. They know there's other stuff wrong.
Any case what do I do, is she a danger? I have no idea. Am I responsible for her if she kiels over, or falls down a step, or who knows because she's such a mess?
