Hi I am new this forum I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have been caring for my partner who has Bi Polar for the last six years we have been together for about 12 years we have an 11 year old daughter... He recently stopped taking all his medication I have had months of hell with him since Christmas 2016 his extreme mental and verbal abuse towards me and my older children who are adults.
It got to the stage where I had to leave in the middle of the night with our daughter and 2 dogs to my mothers house not an ideal situation we have been here now for 3 weeks.
My problem is I contacted his CPN at the mental health team and told her the situation and that his health had deteriorated due to not taking his meds. She has been to see my partner and has agreed that he is now in his manic phase of his illness they can be very unpleasant and unpredictable!!!!!
I have been trying to contact her all week and today she left me a voicemail telling me that she can't discuss anything with me due to his patient confidentiality? My concern is for my 11 year old daughter as he has tried to pick her up from school a couple of times, she knows he's not well and at the moment doesn't want to see him.
And I cannot guarantee that he would return her to me in his present state of mind I don't think he would harm her but he might take her somewhere away from me, it's a very distressing situation
Does his CPN have to give me a certain amount of information because I have our daughter in my care?
By the way we are not married but we have joint parental responsibility.
I'm at my wits end after caring for him for so long it's ended in this but I'm sorry I couldn't take it any more
