Taffletips...

Welcome to SR. I'm sorry about the circumstances that bring you here.

My exhusband (exah) was a heroin addict.
One night he became delusional...just like you describe...He was convinced that the neighbor was spying on him...He sat up all night having an imaginary conversation with someone who wasn't even there as I laid in my child's bed with a cell phone in my hand...afraid to try and leave and afraid to stay.

At one point, my exah came into my son's room and forced me out of bed and to the door because he thought the neighbor was hiding in the bushes. My exah was never a violent person but he grabbed me by the arm and forced me to the door and pushed me outside. I was really scared for my safety and the safety of our son.

I honestly didn't know at the time how much danger I was really in. I tricked him into going to the ER the next morning and he was admitted to the psych ward for several days. While he was there, I obtained a restraining order and had the locks changed on our marital home.

I look back now and I shudder to think of the danger my son and I were in. It all seemed so unreal and I was more angry than scared but once the situation blew over I realized that my exah was probably capable of just about anything.

Please don't take this lightly. You CANNOT cure him. You can't 'support' him. He is lost in another world right now and he is capable of things you never thought possible because he isn't himself right now. He just isn't.

Please listen to your parents and stay safe above all else.
I'm really concerned for your safety.
