he was a christian muscian. it all started 2 months ago right after i had our twins.he started reading the bible on the computer 22 hrs a day a week later he converted to mormonism. the most important factor is hes a black man. but he feels he has to humble himself. he gave up a 2004 bmw to walk everywhere, he quit his job, he dresses in all white and like a bum, he's runs outside naked, he all of a sudden has a fascination with insects and animals. he's always staring at the clouds, his answer for everthing is god told him to do it. he keeps asking me to let him baptize me in the bathtub. he cut all the cords to the tv's and said god told him our babies would go blind if we let them watch the tv. he doesnt care about anything anymore. he hasnt cut his hair in two months or his mustache . and many many more things some really disturbing. I need help, advice, support something, someone please help me. we are currently seperated because i am scared of him for me and my children.

The man is MENTALLY ILL and could seriously hurt you and your children! Stay away from him, get a restraining order, tell the police about your problem and let them handle it. I don't know if they'll be able to force him to get help unless he commits a crime, but you can at least make sure that you and your children are not his first victims!

You have every right to be scared of him. I am a christian, but I will tell you that true Christians do not act like that. I have a sister who thought she had the power to send people to hell, and all she had to do is say the word, and the earth would be destroyed. She ended up in an institution, because she harassed the police department all night long, threatening them that she was going to destroy the earth at any moment. The irony of it was she was not a christian to start with. After being in the institution and having tests, she was diagnosed with severe Bipolar decease. She is home now, and with medications and monitoring, she is able to function. Sounds like he is having a mental breakdown of some sort. Go to his family and see if they can be of some help. Whatever you do, keep those babies and yourself away from him. I got cold chills up my spine when I read he wanted to baptize you in the bathtub. Try to talk to him,by phone, preferably, in seeking help. If , by the help of his family, and talking to him doesn't do any good, then find somewhere to stay, where he has no knowledge of. Good luck and I'll pray for you.

you need to see a therapist or a trusted minister to help you get through this, first of all. second, it sounds like he's had some sort of psychotic break. (i wouldn't be so worried about the quitting of the job, the clothes, the nakedness or the voluntary poverty. i'd be more concerned about if he really believes god is talking to him and that if he really thinks the babies will go literally blind from watching TV. there a difference between going all eccentric and being schizophrenic.) if your are truly scared for your safety or your children's, then you need to stay far away from him (at all times) and get some agency to pursue getting him committed for his own as well as your safety. (being a danger to himself or others is committable.) but look out for your own safety first. acting weird could mean you or your children are at risk.

I am a Mormon and your husband has gone wackey. To the way it sounds, he is in no way living the teachings of Mormonism. If he was he would follow Gordon B. Hinckley. I would call the Police or maybe some Missionaries or Church Leaders. Good Luck. I really hope this will get resolved. God Bless.

Good choice on separating from him for the timebeing. Especially if your children are young, Im sure its disturbing for them to see this change come over Daddy. First especially if you know and love this man and he seems for real, don't exclude the fact that maybe he is having a religious transformation and that this is the life he wants to live. In that case, unless you want to strip down and join him, you might have to go your separate ways. If he is threatening to himself or others I suggest you try to get him to seek counseling or family/church help. Good luck with this trying time in your life.

Although it is difficult to find sure advice for such an abnormal situation what I can offer is some insight into your boyfriend's actions.
My belief is that something in his life, perhaps the birth of his children, has caused him to come to terms with his mortality. The children could make him realise that the rest of his life may be devoted to these children and that his life may at this point be over. In response to this he has tried to both avoid the responsabilities of his everyday life and seek a life beyond his mortal life in order to prove to himself that his life has meaning.

Get him to a psychologist...sounds like schizophrenia or some kind of psychosis. You are right to be frightened....after 10 years my wife is still getting harassed by an ex-boyfriend who did much the same. Just please be careful, when they go that far they are extremely dangerous....My wife's ex wanted to kill our kids because God told him too.
So don't think you can help/fix him, you can't.Your main responsibility is to keep you and your children safe.

Unfortunately, this sounds like symptoms of schizophrenia. It usually starts in young people in their late teens or early twenties. I would not leave my children alone with him and I would stay separated. If you ever feel he has become a danger to himself or others, you can contact the police and see how to have him taken to the hospital for a psychiatric examination. Please, never be alone with him or leave your children alone with him. He needs psychiatric help as soon as possible. Check out schizophrenia on the web.

I know it's got to be tough to fight the God complex. But, if your afraid for your children, then stay away. The mother instinct is telling you something never doubt it. I would ask if you've considered counseling through the Mormon church. If you think he'd listen.
