    You need to leave. NOW! Forget the lease. Take your child and get to a women's shelter or other safe house. The legal ramifications of breaking a lease aren't worth risking your life.

    Run, do not walk, to your suitcases and begin packing. you apparently have been living with a suicidal person for a while. if he is not on medication and not under the supervision of a physciatrist, you and your child could be in danger.

    Let him deal with the lease. you and your child's safety comes first, period.

    Move to a safe place, a friend, family or someone else you can trust. you may have to hide from him for a while, until he seeks help.

    Write him off your list and find someone else.

    If you talk to your county Department of Social Services they should be able to offer a shelter for you. That's what they're paid to deal with: families in trouble.

    You are a mother before you are anything else, your best intrest should always lie with your children. There are many places you can go and be taken care of, if you need help finding one, post where you live and I'm sure we can help. Do this FIRST, and then if it consumes you, call a crisis line and ask them how you can help your boyfriend.

    Have him picked by the authorities for attempted suicide-he should be held for 72 hrs observation which bys you time to file a restraining order.

    Why does it scare you if he is suicidal? I would be trying to get him help first. Running away won't solve any problems and if he does die how will you feel when he's gone? Wonderful? If that's the case then leave, but only worrying about yourself alone seems a bit shallow.
    You really need to give more details because the fact someone is suicidal doesn't always mean homicidal. I've been suicidal much of my life and have never even given thought to taking others out with me.
    Suicide is usually about the person who wants to die and not about homicide. if it's homicide then call police.

  • Just get out of there. If you give me an excuse, you are not ready to leave, period. Life is hard, living there is the hardest choice you can make. Find a shelter if there is no other alternative, start anew and learn from this. By the way, it is NOT her problem, it is your problem.

    I feel as if though the rental property owner knows of his attempted suicide . They should be able to understand a little better . Geesh ! Try to get a restraining order against him . Have the utilities turned off . So that he doesn't ruin your credit anymore than it is . If you can get a restraining order against him . And the rental prperty comes after you in court . Show the Judge the restraining order . And say that you are protecting your child . Cause if you don't , and you know the situation could be bad for the child . It could be child edangerment against you ! Apts. really don't sue . It just shows on your credit . Try to get you a cheaper apt. somewhere that might not be so nice. as these apts. don't care much about credit . Stay there till you can save some money , and build your credit up . I'm from North Richland Hills , Texas myself...howdy ...LoL.....

    LEAVE! Your life is more valuable than your credit rating! Stated another way...in the cool, cool state of eternal silence..I don't think you're going to be worrying about whether you can get a Mastercard.

    this is what i think you should do call the police and GET OUT!! but, there is nowhere to go so find a family member or friend and ask to stay with them. find a job save some money and get out. change the locks or file harrasment . get him into a mental home tell the police he is a threat to society. they will definaly have to responed. your daughter should be the most you worry about because she does not need to be tainted about this. find some way to avoid her hereing the arguments with music.learn self defense in case he tryes to hurt you or your child.

    Regardless of what the actual danger is, if you are scared then you should leave. You can check the phone book for shelters, or you can just ask the next cop you see.

    At any rate, the $2300. That's a lot of money for someone in your position. I assume there was an understanding that you would contribute the deposit in exchange for the right to live there. You shouldn't have any trouble convincing a small-claims court judge to award the money to you. If at all possible, it is best for you to discuss this directly with your boyfriend before you do so.

    Is your name on the lease? If not, get out.

    Why are you scared....is he doing things other than attempting suicide? Not that that isn't scary, but he would need help and support at that time.

    I'm sensing there is something more to this.
