I beleive my son's father may have a mental illness. I beleive he may be paranoid schizophrenic and here's why.
-He is constantly thinking everyone is out to get him. When we were together even his own mother commented that he thinks that way. When we were together I was not allowed to have friends over if he was gone, cause he thinks they would have stolen something from him without him being there to watch them.
-Every time I write a status somewhere (on Myspace or Yahoo) he automatically assumes it's about him even though his name is never mentioned. One day I wrote "I'm going to the store to put a stick of gum on layaway" It was a JOKE but somehow he thought it meant that I was going to the store to put a gun on layaway so I could shoot him. No clue how he got that from what I wrote. Another time I wrote "Sometimes it's best not to question your friends. Just help them dump the body bag into the river" Again, a JOKE, but he actually went to the police and tried to file a report, claiming it was aimed at him. He was not able to file a report because I did not name him directly.
-He keeps accusing me of doing things I could not have possibly done. For example he accused me of stealing his tax return paperwork when we broke up. When I pointed out he obviously had it because he filed taxes after we broke up, he called me ignorant and said he wasn't going to argue with me. I asked him to explain how I could have possibly stolen it when he filed taxes afterward we broke up and he did not have an answer to that.
-He thinks his ex wife and I have teamed up and are working together to get his 2 children with her plus my 1 son with him taken away from him permanently. We have not teamed up and he has no grounds to think that, as there have never been e-mails exchanged between us. It's just something he randomly made up in his head.
-The latest thing is that he is accusing me of hacking into his e-mail. I don't know the first thing about computers or hacking and he knows this, so how he thinks I could have hacked his computer I do not know.
If I presented these facts to the courts, would it be enough for them to make him get tested to see if he suffers from paranoid schizophrenia?
If not, what can I do about him falsely accusing me of things all the time? It is very upsetting to be repeatedly falsey accused of things I did not do.
