Minttu Murphy-Kaulanen says in Me Naiset magazine that five years ago she considered divorcing her husband Sampo Kaulanes after he messed up in a bar.
In 2016, what Sampo had feared for years happened. Suffering from depression, anxiety and suicide, Sampo’s father died. Sampo couldn’t deal with the sadness caused by what happened, but was full of rage.
– I went to jail and couldn’t talk about my father’s death to anyone. I started using a mixture of alcohol and drugs, because I wanted to drown my feelings, she reveals to Me Nais.
Minttu often had to fear for her husband’s life. In 2017, the situation really escalated when he was called to a bar in Åkäslompa to calm Sampo down.
Sampo, who mixed sleeping pills and alcohol, had started behaving aggressively. At the end of the evening, Sampo was finally taken to the hospital in bandages.
– That was the first time I seriously considered whether our marriage would continue, Minttu says in the magazine.
Having learned from the experience, Sampo went to see a doctor, after which he was found to have ADHD. He was put on medication that silenced the constant noise of his thoughts. However, excessive alcohol consumption and sinking into gloom continued.
– But you continued to trust that the turn for the better will still happen, Sampo praises his wife in the latest issue.
