My ex came over after his Sunday meeting. He said that there is something I want to tell you, and you are the only one I can trust.
Some lady after the meetings came up to me and said,"Are we both going to be in paradise naked." We were in a seperate area of the house, so I asked my sister to come in to see it he would tell her. He said nothing! I told her the coversation and she tried to reason with him. He just said,"how would you know she didn't say it?" Apparently we were not there.
I learned you can not try to reason with crazy! I said no one would say that and he needed help.
I reminded him of the three 3 foot see through aliens and the voices from the tv antenna,angels in the clouds.
He will not go get help but believes they are all real.
Looking back I realized that he never really heard anything I said. And made up garbage. One time, I had to ask his brother why he said certain things. His brother was insulted and wanted his brother,my husband, to set me straight. Like a coward he said I miss understood him. There was never a normal time when I was married to him.
Most of the time he lived with paranoia and just stayed quiet and home a lot! He never socilized lik normal couples. One time I remember being on the passengrs seat,and he said get down someone has a gun. I ducked down then said is it safe yet I finally looked to see what was going on. There were no cars around at all. He said he was just getting ready for when there was a gun and somone was shooing. There were always excuses for his actions! When it came time for elders meetings he just lt me take complete responsibility. He said nothing.
Although he would never see a psychiatrist long enough to get diagnosed, he was paranoid schizophrenia. His family some day knows he will needed to be institutionalize.
I pesonally do not care what happens to him as long as he stays completely away from me. Sometimes he drives by my house and stalks me. He was caught following me down the street by my neighbors. Too many times!
