my ex-husband is paranoid schiz. i caretook him last year. his pdoc gave me the advice above, so i'm sharing it with you. others may have another opinion.
i came to this site originally for support as his caregiver. i received wonderful support. i am sure you will too. you might want to post in "relationships" forum too so more ppl will review your post.

I have a similar situation except that last year(2014) my bf saw me in the hospital and not only blamed himself but deliberately started staying away from me because he thought that I would die just like his wife, step son and parents did all in the space of five years....in July after he told me how deeply in love with me he was, he filed an injunction of harassment against both me and my son in what we believe was an attempt to keep us alive in his delusional mind because then we wouldn't be able to have any contact with him for a year...but I took it to a hearing. Although it was withdrawn, the judge made us informally agree to not see each other for a whole year..this has been the worst thing that has ever happened to me and I am 65 and have been married twice before...I am devastated and don't want to live...I have been emailing him since late October and he alternatelyblocks and unblocks my son's and my emails but never responds..in December we sent him Chanukah gifts that we found under my car the next morning..is there anything I can do to shake him out of his delusion that we will be harmed or does he even have that delusion anymore...I am so upset and confused and turned around and don't really want to live anymore.I am also in a lot of pain and handicapped but my son is also very upset..Michael was the best when he was around..though he was a snot in court and asked the judge if it couldn't be longer than a year for the injunction..I am heartbroken and confused...to the lady who posted about her bf, I would say that YES love is worth it..if you have found it with this man then do everything you can to keep it..it may never come again..
