1) Guitarist finds wife is going totally batshit crazy (diagnosed bipolar, off meds, was 5150d 2 years ago).
2) Guitarist finally can't take it any longer and separates with intent to divorce.
3) Ex-wife uses all powers at her disposal to make life shitty for guitarist.
4) Guitarist who has no job and no money, then has his car taken by ex-wife. Now renting a room with nothing but his UI check, cannot get any level of custody of children.
5) Ex-wife now begins to make life shitty for 16 yo son and 13 yo daughter, as a way to "get back" at guitarist. She churns endlessly at the situation and creates fake dramas to take out her anger at the kids.
6) Today we're driving back from afternoon gig and guitarist gets a call from 13yo, in tears, announces that the 16yo son has attempted suicide and is in hospital and "stable".
7) As we drive steadily back, after an hour he gets another call, this time from his 19yo. Story goes: last night the 16yo asked, via txt, to have his girlfriend in the house. Ex-wife txts back no. 16yo responds with annoyance. Ex-wife txts back that he will be put in military school. 16yo txts back that he might as well kill himself. Ex-wife calls 911 and tells cops that son has threatened suicide. The cops remove him to the local hospital for evaluation. The 13yo did not know the full story because ex-wife did not tell her.
Guitarist is near the end of his rope. He says he feels like he's watching his children drowning in the ocean, and there's nothing he can do to save them.
