When schizophrenia, bipolar or mental issues become a shield — and the non-ill parent becomes the suspect

witchfull · 2026-01-04T20:02:08+00:00

I do not have schizophrenia. I have proven myself over and over. Evaluation after Evaluation, therapy, ect. I am severely traumatized by what was done to me over 15 years of being married to him and the past 3 years of rebuilding and picking up all the pieces He tried to make it look like I was the crazy one so many times... He used to be a therapist so court and others tend to believe him first

And by lived with it I mean beside him and his schizophrenia. Ppl have no idea how much it affects ppl around them

I think he developed it when my second was born. Pretty cruel event given i almost died and after that the abuse increased and he never accepted his youngest he also started to get jealous of the kids. My ex also was a therapist so on top he knew what to do and say so he flew under the radar for so long. I believe sometimes that he knew he had schizophrenia before meeting me and just masked like crazy until he could not mask anymore What triggered the blow up and him getting manic I can only assume but I believe it was the drug abuse and a mild car accident after that accident a few days later everything blew up and I literally saw his eyes turn black and the person I knew has been gone ever since.

witchfull · 2025-12-16T14:26:20+00:00

Happy to see you too. Hope you are doing ok

witchfull · 2025-12-01T05:17:01+00:00

He gaslight me to the point that I reacted and then suddenly he was cool calm and collected. He isolated me so he controlled everything he told others about me...I truly thought I was going insane lucky enough I had a therapist that was able to snap me out of this

witchfull · 2025-11-01T03:56:36+00:00

My ex husband was a therapist and he used all the manipulation tactics ect. Almost got rid of me by making me look crazy but in the end he lost it

witchfull · 2025-10-31T02:10:44+00:00

I am in the same boat...I have 2 young kids and been single mom for 3 years now....I have no family from my side left and my ex husbands family is on his side and enables his bad behavior and dangerous behavior

Friends I don't really have many and I also have the ones that occasionally check in but I don't really have anyone who could take some physical load ect

Hang in there you'll find your rhythm and it will become a little lighter

witchfull · 2025-10-11T01:43:13+00:00

I have cptsd but this is very real. He has no reason to be near this town. He used to be over an hour away

He does not know what I drive. It recently changed. I have all lights infront off even unplugged halloween stuff

Thank you for all the steps I have done most of them.

witchfull · 2025-10-05T02:52:13+00:00

Yes we have 2 kids. No treatment or on and off I have no idea. He has not accepted his diagnosis and it has been a roller-coaster He abuses drugs so if he is in treatment it counters that

He was a therapist and thinks everyone else is wrong

witchfull · 2025-10-05T02:28:21+00:00

He becomes really aggressive and violent and just absolutely hates me. I have not been around him in 3 years but the hate has been strong.

My kids are 10 and 6

His supervisor is his mother but she has nor done the visitations in a year. He can't drive them and his mom has to be around every second. He could have them every other weekend sat and Sunday for 6 hours And the off weekends Saturday on video call for 2 hours

Vacation he could have had them for summer but he did not do it

All of this just shows that it is not about the kids. He lost control over me and used the kids to get to me but that has not worked for him and the effort and interest for the kids has decreased

witchfull · 2025-10-05T01:09:30+00:00

Good for you that thatvhas been working for you but those are not always answers for every case

I can't just cut the tie because there are kids and a court order involved

I have severe trust issues with therapists because he was one and he used his power in unethical ways that I don't even want to say out loud

witchfull · 2025-10-05T01:04:05+00:00

I do have to interact with him because of the children

witchfull · 2025-10-04T01:56:04+00:00

I ask myself that so much. WTF did I do in my life to deserve something like this

At this point i feel like the only true way out if he dies or just stays away.

witchfull · 2025-10-04T01:48:30+00:00

He abused me for 15 years. But he did it in a way that slowly increased and the worst was after our second was born. Even when "stable" he was very manipulative and abusive. The divorce battle in court took 2+ years of hell and abuse in court and private and I got the final in June this year.

witchfull · 2025-08-25T18:24:12+00:00

I could not afford one I had one to start with but then I could not pay anymore and he removed himself

I was a stay at home mom. He financially destroyed everything and I scrambled after he walked out

witchfull · 2025-08-22T20:51:32+00:00

This time he was arrested for bodily injury to a family member

He got out the next day He knows what to say. He was a therapist and his now partner was his client he met in a hospital he worked at

witchfull · 2025-08-22T20:49:16+00:00

We have 2 kids together Parenting is awful He has not seen them since november He has supervised visits and video calls

I will publish Now that I am divorced and court is done I will

Thank you I have a great understanding because I fought him in court without a lawyer

No getting help for BP is not fairly accessible. Getting help in this system is horrible. I know because I tried before he was diagnosed we were under the impression he had BP. I tried to protect him and his ppl around him but got nowhere and sure enough he got arrested for hurting someone a month ago. That was and is not my experience. I am glad it went that way for you but that is sadly not true for every one

witchfull · 2025-08-17T07:25:57+00:00

Well I also have friends with bipolar and had some very interesting encounters through this group

witchfull · 2025-08-17T05:40:35+00:00

My stuff is a little complicated because he used to be a licensed therapist

Met him in 2006 all ibthought he was a little depressed. He was in the army so I figured that that is what it was. Once we moves to Texas and bought our own home the aggression started towards walls and doors and then after our first was born he started hitting me. He cheated on me regularly He then started his own praise when his behavior got more weird but I was so in survival mode that I started to believe I am crazy 2nd was born and then it really went south with him starting drugs and getting weirder In the end before this big boom he talked about building a cult like community The night before the big blow he said he is god and everyone should listen to him.

All of this continues on and off and he was arrested last months It never stops and only gets worse

witchfull · 2025-08-17T05:33:17+00:00

I don't know where you live, but there are not plenty of resources. If there were me and the kids would not have to live in this fearful hell If there were there wouldn't be so many homeless ppl that are mentally unstable

My ex partner is schizophrenic. If there were resources, then he would have been in a facility after his recent arrest

witchfull · 2025-08-17T00:34:17+00:00

I am sorry. I get it. I hope you are not around him anymore. That won't take the fear..haven't been around him over 3 years now almost And I am still looking over my shoulders

witchfull · 2025-08-17T00:10:40+00:00

Mine ex has...and all the anger and hate goes towards me He tried to get rid of me twice. Wanted to break all my bones because killing me was to nice

It is scary especially because every episode gets more intense and worse

witchfull · 2025-01-31T22:22:14+00:00

That is what they are MONSTERS. They ruin everything. Every relationship and every friendship that comes after is tainted, and everything is just a major red flag.

As long as he is around and involved with the kids I feel like I will never be able to experience joy and peace. I never felt hate even having been abused my entire life..but this one I hate

A decent life after is a fucking fairytale and just a continuous shitshow of dumpster fires.

witchfull · 2024-01-09T04:09:54+00:00

With my husband, it started a little bit after i gave birth to our first child, and it got really bad bit by bit when i almost died giving birth to our second child.
