I am the caregiver in my family of 2, we are both 52. My wife was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic and she has been this way since 1990. We have been married for 5 years and known her for 15 years all together. I do not know what to do any more. She wants to die and she tells me so. I try to do what she wants me to. There is no family support for her family since we married they do not even call to see how she is doing. She says that she will not hurt me, but I do not trust her any more. I worry about her when I leave the home to leave her home is terrifing to me. I love her so very much. She writes some but, when I read it it is like the same thing is going through her mind all the time. She doesn't want to divorce me because this is the only thing she has left in life. And I always tell her that That is the last thing on my mind. Her aunt killed herself with this and the family never told me till she did, she doesn't even remember her name. and the family doesn't speak up. I am almost at the end of my rope and I found this site. Are there greater answers then I have for now?
