Continuing from here, sort of:
So changing the freeze plugs was just the beginning, we also had to replace the radiator because it leaked after the freeze plug thing was fixed. Then my brother remembered that 4Runners have timing belts and, of course, my boyfriend’s has never been replaced. The Lord is holding that thing together at this point. We don’t have the money to replace it for at least another month.
Unfortunately, my boyfriend is not taking any of this well. He’s been having really bad mental illness episodes which have him losing his voice, breaking down to the point where he’s acting like a child and screaming at people, and threatening to do things to himself, asking me for weapons, etc. He is also wildly misinterpreting things that I’m saying in negative ways, worse than usual. He needs professional psychiatric help urgently.
Please pray for patience and financial provision for both of us as we deal with this incredibly frustrating situation. Also pray that I can find a mental health clinic to take my boyfriend to and actually get him there, and also some relief from the intensity of these episodes. Some of this is par for the course in fighting abusers, but seeing him break down like that is causing me grief.
