frazzled1 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 How fragile is our own sanity when we live with someone who has multiple problems that they believe/want you to believe are your problems? Let me listSociopathic, Paranoid Schizophrenic, Opoid addict, Hisrtionic, Narcisistic, ADHD, OCDAnd he has had a lung collapse several times so you can add oxygen deprivation (as a cause of symptoms or a symptom itself) he's had 2 lung surgeries, he still smokes (1/2 pk a day), he chews tobacco even while he sleeps, and he overtakes our sons rescue inhaler (albuterol)The fact that I am still here, and with my 7 y/o son speaks volumes (at least to me) about my own sanity. However, everyone in my personal circle of friends and family think I am perfectly sane and just in a tough situation. But how long does a sane person stay in such a situation?
devils daughter Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 Frazzled,I think you asked the sane question, "how long does a sane person stay in such a situation?"So, how long do you stay?Wish I had more to offer but I'm not in the situation and I just don't know.
frazzled1 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Posted March 8, 2012 I really don't know. Pity- I feel sorry for him both his physical and psychological problems give me some twisted sense of obligation. Fear- Aside from being a little afraid of what he might be capable of, I have lost 3 children in this state to an unfit father and I don't want to revisit that nightmare, and I have severe back problems that keep me out of work so I could not provide at the moment for my son.I guess I feel kinda trapped.DD Your comment is rather a comfort but I can't answer the question either and I AM in this position.
