Does anyone have a partner that is schizophrenic

My children’s dad and I split about 6 months ago. Long story short ….he was abusive . I have our 2 children .

The past 2 days he has been sending me texts that he is scared he is being targeted by a group that does home invasions in Los Angeles . He really has no basis to this other than he is being paranoid because he is alone . So he sends me all these screenshots of criminals that have been involved in this felony lane gang group. And he claims a couple of them have walked by his house. He told me I’m in danger, he is in danger and our kids are in danger. He said he has called the Colorado homicide department, called the FBI hotline and given tips because he says he cracked a case that not even the FBI could crack. If I ask him a question or tell him he really has no basis to this , he gets extremely agitated . And he texts me this shit all day. Now he is accusing me of being in on targeting him. Ever since he has been doing this I’ve just had this feeling perhaps he is schizophrenic and I never saw the signs until now. BTW, it runs on his moms side. She had a bro & a sis that have been in a mental hospital since their early 20s with schizophrenia. Now what the hell do I know? I’m not a doctor. Advice? Thoughts? Don’t be to harsh. Thank you.

He definitely seems like there’s a psychotic break of some kind going on and if it runs in the family the likelihood is even higher! He sounds schizophrenic to me. I’m no doctor tho lol

So I’m gonna tell you a story, not to scare you but to stress how serious you should take the situation. My brother in law had a cousin who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, he was in and out of mental hospitals and he stopped taking his medicine because he couldn’t afford it. Well he was totally fine then the next day he stabbed and killed his grandma 8 times because he truly believed she was out to get him. He believed she was apart of a gang that was after him. I think you need to reach out to someone who can take him to get help. I don’t recommend you do it like the other commenter said because if he believes you are also an enemy at the moment then he can snap on you. Please try to get him help

He was abusive and you have no responsibility to help that man seek treatment that he doesn’t want. If he can’t even admit to you he’s experiencing a problem, he is not going to seek help. I think it’s best if you block him. I don’t think it’s good to be in daily communication with an abusive ex going through a psychotic break who is now about to target you as well based on his texts. You need to stay away from that man and call the cops immediately if you see him at your house.

Sounds like he may need some help mentally. If you are able to get him to a ER to be evaluated that would be one of the best things for him. If you can’t get him there maybe have the local police or family do a well fair check on him. My late husband had a mental break down, he felt that the government was watching him, he threw out his cell phone. We were on a mini vacation when it happened and he wanted me to get rid of my phone too. But I refused. He tried to run away, it was one of the most scariest times of my life. As we had been 10 hrs from home and I had nobody to help me.(except the cops). I managed to get him back in the car, we drove 10 hrs home. I took him to the ER for evaluation and he was placed on a 72 hr hold. He was not diagnosed with schizophrenia. But with manic bipolar disorder.
