Partner has Paranoid schzophrenia
Hi this is my first post sorry it will be long. I have been married t my husband for 25 years. When we met I was aware he had a drinking problem he was aware too and wanted to stop. He also told me about his past drug use which was mainly speed. I was 25 and he was 28. the first couple of years he was on and off with drinking he stopped after our second daughter was born about 20 years ago. After he stopped drinking his mental health declined and he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and began medication Things were better, but he was still a fairly dark person with conspiracy theories and angry at the world. He would barely socialize, and we would fight often about house duties and him spending time with the kids. I did the lion's share of everything because he found the medication so debilitating. The first time he left me I found out he had started tapering off the meds. He ended up homicidal and suicidal. He was admitted to hospital and his medicine was increased. Which helped him. We have been stable for 10 years with difficulties arising as in a normal marriage and he has been very functional. A couple of months ago he made an accusation that I was acting too familiar with my daughter long term boyfriend. An alarm went off in me, but we worked through it. Around the same time, he wanted to start tapering off the meds again because he had been so stable. 2 weeks later out of the blue he blew up at me for sitting on our bed wearing only a t shirt whilst there is another man in the house my daughter's boyfriend suggested I wanted the attention. He said either the boyfriend goes, or he goes, and I couldn't break my daughter's heart, so he left. He came back and then left again after another fight. My question is does this sound like its caused by the medication drop. He is still functioning in all other areas, nice to our kids.
