Testimonies: Living with psychosis

by Carolyn Tracy

Created on: April 06, 2007   Last Updated: March 04, 2011

Many people have one or maybe even more members in their family that are a little psycho or psychotic. If not in the general family maybe through in laws, In any event they exist. They are out there and unwilling you have to play a part in this drama that they bring into your family.

Please do not think I am talking of just men here as I am not. In my situation this is a female. I have dealt with her mental state for many of years, and through no end will it stop now or maybe ever. To keep my sanity I share this with you and many others. In hope that innocence people can watch for the signs before allowing one into your family.

My brother in law divorced shortly after I meant him and his brother who I am now married to. I became the should my brother in law needed to get over his wife. Nothing more then that, we grew closer from it in fact, the trust, friendship it all came together. It was quickly ruined once he meant his current wife today.

From the first day she acted terrible, tense, suspiciously insane. I will never for get that day as the tension in the room could not be cut with the strongest knife.
Every day there after was a nightmare, the calls started. Where is *? what is he doing.If she didn't get what she wanted on the phone she would come over no matter the hour. Leaving sexual toys on the porch or notes for my brother in law.

She had two children from a prior marriage, who she would drag out at night 10 pm till 3 or even 6 am the next day just watching our house, knocking on our door or windows.

My brother in law and her would break up on every weekend and be back together on the weekdays. It was a for sure thing that we could predict. I changed our phone number many of times but with out delay she would find it and call and call through the night to the next day. causing trouble, spreading lies, assuming that I can my brother in law was involved, that my husband knew about it and allowed it.

My husband and I moved a year or so after because of this woman hoping that this would end the stress on our part but we felt bad for leaving our brother/brother in law behind to deal with her. A year or so went by and I came home from the store,there on my porch standing there was my brother in law. He said he left her for good, couldn't deal and handle with her psycho ways. Her abuse towards him, throwing collage sized books at his head making his ear bleed at one point. Her throwing his stuff in the river, calling the cops because he called her a bad name,
