I wonder if maybe any of you have some advise for me, as I have recently begun to interact again with my x-boyfriend who has something very similar to paranoid schizophrenia. I say this because he has not yet been properly diagnosed with anything besides psychosis not otherwise specified.
I would like to be there for him from time to time, but not get sucked in to his life. I don't want to feel responsible if he decides to threaten suicide again. I've already suffered a great deal and my life has been pretty stable and productive lately.
I guess I have another question as well because the situation has gotten so out of control that his mother has resorted to medicating him through his coffee. Do you think this is ethically wrong? I would probably think yes, but for the fact that without it he might have died by now.
