Hi this is in addition to my previous post regarding my schizophrenic son. I seem to be in an impossible situation right now. My son is having paranoid thoughts , panic attacks and constantly in tears. Both he and I know it's due to his taking these drugs and he totally wishes he hasn't now. This is bringing back dreadful memories for my husband from 10 years ago when my son was sectioned. My husband had a complete breakdown and we very nearly broke up over it. So my husband is angry with me now and not speaking to me as he feels we should be spending quality time together as we both work for the nhs and it's very stressful. But how can i let my son struggle alone ? My husband says he brought it on himself and he is right but it's going against all my instincts not to help him. I think my husband would be ok if my son was staying in his own flat but he stayed here last night and woke us every 2 hours so its very difficult to cope with . Sorry for rant but just don't know how to handle this. My husband is not my son's dad
A very difficult situation indeed.
I'm afraid I can't offer any ideas to help, my son has learning difficulties and our parents needed care as they became elderly.
As a carer, you are entitled to a Carers Assessment from Social Services, but I'm not sure how long that would take because of the current Lockdown situation.
