second is it any wonder he chose to keep this a secret since you immediately associate this with violence? Personally I tell people within a month but I'm stable and on meds and I'm sure his issue is that he went off meds, he'll probably be fine once he starts again so stick it out

Wow.. hang on a minute... i am asking for advice out of genuine concern and care for both my boyfriend and my son and selfishly myself.. you seem to be having a go at me little here... or perhaps i have mis read this?? I also wasn't only referring to violence, but more the distress i can see it causing my boyfriend and not knowing how to support him the best way i can.
I did say that he had gone into more detail.. i just didn't explain this as i didn't want to make the post any longer than it already was... so in fact he has had violent episodes at the same time as the psychosis. I'm no expert on the matter... and don't know if they are linked or not.. but i'm sure alot of people would misconceive also.
Also.. when you are put through all kinds(things you couldn't even begin to imagine) not once but twice, and have 15 years of abuse from people that are supposed to love you and escape that... it kinda makes you a little hostile towards men in general!!
Cheers for the advice though...
