What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina. I left my verbally borderline physically abusive husband about a week and a half ago. I got a call from him today stating that if he doesn't see that I have gotten a job and started taking the medications that my therapist prescribed within 3 months he was going to file commitment papers. I'm staying with a couple friend of mine and anytime I'm with them I do not need any medication. My therapist even agreed that my whole problem was my husband and the abuse he has put me through. My husband does not want our child and has stated this several times to several people, but in order to control me still he is using our son as leverage. He has already had me committed one time. Can he do this even though I am no longer in his house and have witnesses to verify that I am completely normal?
