How does one cope with a spouse who is delusional and psychotic?
Delusional and Psychotic? What does it mean to be delusional and psychotic? These psychiatric terms describe the symptoms of a psychosis! Whose diagnosis it this? If this is your definition as a spouse, someone who is not aware of the real meaning to these psychiatric terms and solely uses them as a putdown, be aware that this sort of putdown also defines you. For nothing is easier than to ascribe a mental desease to one's mate - and preferably a non-curable one - and put yourself up as the "rational" partner. Forget these psychiatric terms and hope that spouting off against each other without using these putdowns will help your relationship. By giving each other a two minute "uninterrupted" break when either one of you can spout off against the other, you can get all your complaints off your chest. Still, in the end, that decision whether to use your putdowns or a healthy exchange, is yours.
