Anyone else have a partner living with schizo effective disorder?

Hi, I have already posted on here a few times about various issues but now my only question is are there many others on here who have partners with schizo effective disorder?? Am only asking as it can be such a roller coaster of a lifestyle and of course when he becomes unwell then it can also be quite confronting. I find the 'normal' relatively calm times Aldo quite difficult from time to time......like this past week he has just up and quit his job and is moving away to do what he has always dreamed of doing and that is to go opal mining!!!! He will still return home fortnightly or so and admittedly his casual job has not had a lot of work lately but to me although he had talked about it a lot over the years it seemed like overnight he decided to just do it!! I feel a little annoyed because I have a full time job which pays the mortgages etc and I am in dire need of a 'break' too which is also what he says he needs!!!! When he has said that I just scream in my head....'a break from what??!!' I think I sound selfish and very unsupportive but I think everyone has a breaking point and added to the stress of his news I also have two elderly grandparents who have both been hospitalised in the past two weeks and a 15year old daughter (need I say more??!!?!!) work pressures are increasing (I teach 5 year olds) and the way I feel ATM I think one more tiny incident and I may very we'll go down like a game of jenga!!! How do other people cope and when their partner's are not acutely unwell do they work etc ????
