Thank you, everyone, for your kind replied and suggestions. I really appreciate the support.

Good news! My partner is taking his meds, he's no longer paranoid and he is SLEEPING right now. We talked and he will voluntarily go IP if needed. I think if things keep going in the direction they are...it will be smooth sailing. I have gotten his father involved. They aren't close but they are texting daily...so his dad is checking on him, too.

My stepdad is doing poorly. He can still walk and do self-care. He sleeps so much now and feels bad. His funeral service is planned. I love him dearly. I will be grieving for years. His brothers are coming Monday so I can have a "break," as my stepdad calls it. I'll go stay with my partner at his house. I'm very comfortable there. It's my safe space. I'm living in my childhood home. So many bad memories here.

I'll be OK.
