She started making threats of suicide again if she loses the baby. She's done this before and it was just manipulative posturing, but I don't really know when to treat it more seriously and call someone. Thoughts?
It's certainly something I would bring up at the hearing tomorrow (well, run it by your lawyer, but you know what I mean) because suicide threats are in some states considered a form of domestic violence.

That might be a twofer: You get another sign of her deterioration AND you get to tell someone that she's threatening suicide. My guess is that it's just quacking. My AXH tells our youngest kid that same sob story.

I have sympathy, too -- but like someone wrote here a few weeks ago, if someone has cancer and refuses to seek medical help, there's not much you can do for them.

Hang in there & don't let her sidetrack you.
