I have been a bit lost for 8 months. My family broke apart after my wife attacked me with scissors and destroyed all my belongings and cut up all my clothes. my wife then took my kids away (who were in my care) and threatened to take them to China. Blocked all contact I've not known where they were till last month and I've been left couch surfing and living off the good graces of a few friends.

Is there any support for those suffering isolation? If I die in my bed tonight, my body won't be discovered for months. Sorry to bother you all. Even just one phone call per week, for 1 minute, just to check I am still alive and well. Owen (Belmore NSW).
