What to do if my wife is pregnant and now is threatening to kill herself?
I have proof of this through text messages. What can I do to stop her from doing something awful to herself and out child and is there any way I could use the text messages to get full custody of the child once she gives birth? I really don’t think she is stable enough to raise a child. What can I do?

Well first off if you think that she is serious then I would contact an attorney about what you can legally do to make sure that she and the baby are safe. If it means that you need to have her admiited to some place to protect herself from herself then I would do so. She obviously needs help. And as for custody you both have custody unless a court rules otherwise in a divorce. So if that is what you are planning then speak with the lawyer about that as well.
