| I am the wife to a man with paranoia I find it harder and harder to stop his accusaions. I wish there were a support group. I am even scared that he will get me into trouble because he is so sure that he is right. He has always turned his accusations toward me and recalls my "personallity" by things that were never true in the first place. Help! | |

| Sis, I will keep you in prayer and if there is a support group out there you can find it. Look for NAMI, because they help with families that have mental disorder. you can find the help you need sis. | |

Ok, firstly, it's not a "mental disorder", it's simply a state of mind. For most of us, our paranoia is a safety mechanism. The problem is when the person doesn't have enough self-control and becomes unstable, then it's really hard to get them back on the slightly more functional side. Ok, no offense, but I have to say it. "wifey ", my god, have you ever heard of spell check? (I'm sorry, I'm really obsessive as well) Run your message through Word first, or better yet, use Firefox. Firefox has an in browser spellchecker. Anyway, if your husband has become unstable, and it sounds like he has (stable people with paranoia wouldn't let their suspect know they're onto them, we would strike first.), you could try putting him through counseling, though I rather doubt it will work. It's quite difficult for us to trust new people, or old people. Literally included. I swear, the seniors are up to something, just haven't figured out what yet. Anyway, as for you, you could get a divorce. Though, I really doubt you want to do that. I'm also incapable of feeling love, so I can't relate to people in your situation that well. At all, actually. I just don't understand the point of marriage. Sorry, got off topic. Another option, other than divorce, would be to actually do something that will scare the living hell out of him. I've found that this method has about a 50% success rate. The only problem is, the other half of the time, the person snaps and does something to hurt either themself or someone else. So, if you think it's worth the risk, it's your choice. |

Hi Wifey. I also live with a paranoid individual. She is my mom. She is 89 but still full of energy. I am 51. When I was 15 she dumped me ( She acused me of hating her wich was not true). At 89 she broke her ribs in a fall and now I start living with her. It is sooo hard. She is convinced maid does steal her clothes (or does change their place ). Recently she start thinking I change the place of her things. Thats mind bogling. Lol. I also need help. How can I deal with the situation ? |
