I know if my bi-polar wife threatens me with a knife, I'm calling the police as fast as I can even if it meams leaving to do so. I have called the cops twice in the past three months because my wife tried to commit suscide. The cops handled it very well. It is important for them to know she has bi-polar when you call them so they know what they are dealing with. Don't let them think she is just someone who is out to stab or cut you. She need desperate help during these times before she hurts someone. I can't guarentee it but most cops are trained to deal with these kinds of things. I would bet the farm they would take her to a hospital because of her disability instead of to jail. They call in someone to make an assement of her condition and medicate her. Depending on what they find there are lots of options available to them. Don't worry about that you think she will hate you. Most say they will but in the end they are very glad you choose to help them and keep them from making a bad problem even worse. If you don't do something the odds are one day she will cross that line with you or someone else. Now is your chance to really help her. I hope this helps. TEXASCRITTER
