Hotels will accept any method of payment that involves them actually collecting from you.

If she’s smart enough to conspire and hide money, then she’s not in a mental crisis of the type that youre thinking about.

It’s probably another man. I’d be digging thru cell records for the past few months.

First I’d be protecting my children no matter what.

Drug Test

Sounds like drugs. Probably using them with someone in the fall when this all started. Now she’s addicted and spending your money on it. Insist she takes this (linked drug test) in your presence. If she refuses you have your answer. If shes not doing drugs she’ll have no issue talking this.

After that explanation it sounds either drug related or just a mental breakdown. Either way, she needs professional help. And you need to get your youngest child to a safe place. I am more sorry than even before for your situation. You and your entire family will be in my prayers for a while. I just got news of one of my distant cousins committing suicide today. He was a great person with a beautiful wife and family. Be safe.

Not true, it’s called Late-onset Schizophrenia. @20% of patients have onset after the age of 40.

Dude/ when i tell you it’s so frickING hard to do…it is !! Bruh, i try to zen out, chill out, try to rest but my spidey senses gets all tense and it’s all i can do to remain calm - it’s like she knows how/when to press those buttons but i try to disengage ….its so hard


This is why mental illness is so difficult, you can not see the injuries. If she had visible cuts, bruises, incisions, casts, etc it would be different. However, mental illness has none of those which makes it difficult to be compassionate because its hard to see, understand, and empathize with.

You must dig deep and find compassion and tolerance for whatever is going on your wife and mother of your child - the woman you swore “for better or for worse” needs your help. Who will do so if you just cast her aside? How are you helping her if you make the situation worse by antagonizing her?

This does not mean accepting and tolerating bad behavior. It means finding a way to put the bad shite behind you, deal with what’s in front of you in the most gentle and effective way, and know how BOTH of you behave throughout all of this directly impacts your child.

I can’t recall if you have a daughter or a son, but lastly, know this - these are the times when you - the Father- are teaching your daughter how her future husband (and men) should treat her, and teaching your son how he should treat his wife (future women)…

Ask yourself, do you really want to raise a girl with Daddy issues knowing she will one day be a subject here on TigerDroppings? (A bit of humor inserted for a heavy topic but you know what I am saying).

Call an attorney today. Try to get get her committed ASAP.

Schizophrenics aren’t doing cash withdrawals like this.

It’s either drugs or gambling.

It’s likely the drug problem has gotten worse and she was able to hide it for the past 6-12 months because the OP wasn’t looking or whatever. Now she can’t hide it.

She probably got into drugs because of other issues. But you don’t go crazy and pull out money.

You need to stop fricking around OP and assume the worst. Hire an attorney to protect yourself and your kids, then take the steps to help your wife get her issues under control.

Haven’t read the whole thread, but:

I’m pretty sure by now you’d have a good hunch if it was drugs.

I figure either she’s getting ready to leave for good, or there are slot machines nearby and she’s hooked.

Wrong. Schizophrenics do many sneaky things - including cash withdrawals, etc.

Pretty sure your wife is on drugs OP.
Random 200$ ATM withdrawals. Staying in a hotel.
I haven’t read the thread. Just your original post.

Not a good option as Apple will alert you if you’re being followed by an unknown AirTag. Not ideal for OP, but pretty easy to see why it’s needed.

As for OP, wishing you luck.

Your wife is doing drugs and fricking her dealer. Get out as soon as you can. Nothing good will come of this.

Just erratic behavior- thought (or thinks) our iPhones are/were hacked- thought/thinks ppl have been in our house - started carrying bags with her everywhere with her (her family even noticed this) - for a while she was taking tons of photos of random shite - for a bit, was just driving all over the place at all hours of the day and night (for a while i could track her but now she turned off everything). She thinks ppl have influenced our lives ..forbid the kids from saying words (candy, trash, reset etc)

Probably more but i can’t recall …


sounds like my cousin who got hooked on meth. He was convinced that the government put chips in his brain, cameras in his house, and that everyone (including family) was fricking his wife behind his back. He's now homeless last I heard. dem drugs no good

Your wife has a drug problem. I’m sorry to tell you but I’m sure I’m right. Money being withdrawn, unexplained changed in behavior. Confront her and ask her to take a drug test. She’ll lie of course because that’s what addicts do. But you’ll have your answer based on how she reacts. I would follow her also. She’s probably my engaging in some risky behavior too.

It’s drugs. 100%. If you love her, try to get her in treatment. It’s going to be a long, hard road and she won’t stop until she’s ready. Sorry man. Just prepare yourself for a long journey. Don’t let up on her.

Unless she had some injury and was prescribed pain killers…or was otherwise trashy…how would a normal housewife become an addict?

If she has any close friends, were they slipping her Xanax? It’s not like she’s just going to swing by the dealer after dropping the kids at school. There had to have been a source.
