Overcoming Mother's Mental State
Help please,
I recently wrote asking how I could get visitation with my daughter during a restraining order. I recently spoke to my lawyer about the following;
My wife was sexually abused by several people between the ages of 12 and 16. She was mentally or physically abused by her step-mother between the ages of 16 and 20. She has a history of alcoholism and has several family members suffering from the same. She has attempted suicide several times prior to our meeting and marrying. We have been married almost 19 years and have one 8-year old daughter. Over the past 4-months, she has told me that at least 6 times she has sat with my gun in her hand and considered taking her own life. About a month ago, she told me that she had been considering killing my daughter and herself that day. When I asked her why she told me that she would not allow another woman to raise her daughter because of the trauma she had suffered with her step-mother.
She has now filed a completely false restraining order which is keeping me from seeing my daughter at all until its resolution. I am so afraid that she will hurt my daughter or herself during this period but I have been told by my lawyer to do nothing at this point. I am so scared that this emotinally disturbed woman will hurt herself or my daughter that I can't sleep or eat. How can I protect my daughter and wife without violating the restraining order. Please help.
