11/23 Schizophrenia
Quote From: gdouglass My exwife has schizophrenia, and we divorced because of it. She was convinced I murdered at least 6 people, and had numerous affairs over our 21 year marriage. And of course I did not murder anyone, nor did I ever beat anyone up, nor was I ever unfaithful to her. Of course my denials could not prove I was telling the truth, when she was so "convinced". Our sons (college age) and I are very baffled by it all.
How did you decide to go back to your husband? What convinced you he was not a threat to you? What can get my wife to trust me again?? Now, she thinks I have been lying to her all these years and yet I do not know any time I ever lied to her about anything substantial affecting me and her or our marriage.
All the best,
Gene I realized it was a delusion after my psychiatrist increased my dosage of anti-psychotics. It took some time to dawn on me but when I was thinking more clearly I realized that he had never hurt me, and would never hurt me. I'm very sorry your wife left you. Is she taking meds? Were/are you in contact and communication with her psychiatrist? Perhaps she needs a reevaluation of her meds. I was very lucky. Like you, my husband never gave up on me. Do you still talk to each other? Maybe you could contact her psychiatrist and tell him or her all this. I wish I had clearer solutions to offer you. My husband has called my psychiatrist before and has come to therapy with me to better understand what I was going through. I wish you luck.
