My church friends fixed me up with my ex
@Sarah was your mental illness the reason for your divorce? That would be devastating if it was.
I was living in the basement of my exes sister and family. I met him and was really taken by him and he felt the same.
My significant other is of a non sexual nature. She is my provider and I give her a lot of credit for the progress I’ve made with my health. We’ve been together15 years.

My significant other found me. Back when I lived with my parents I would walk to work and back home, and I walked past the restaurant where he worked. He said he saw me dancing down the street and liked what he saw and wanted to get to know me better to see if there were any sparks between us, and sure enough he found them.
When I was in high school I was in drama classes and dance classes, and I do like to dance down the street. It is fun for me and I really don’t care what other people think of me.
That is one of the reasons I love this video. I can identify with it…

My wife moved into our neighborhood. I first saw her in a car accident at the front of the neighborhood. First met in a friends pool room we were about 15. That was in 1985.
Ended up going to high school together. I took her to junior prom. Flipped a car with her in it. First date didn’t go so well.
I left for the military after high school. When I got out and started college we started dating seriously. Got married at 22 in 1993. So it’s been over 26 years of marriage.
Haven’t done the math on how long I have known her. Whatever 2019 minus 1985 works out to be.

Since she doesn’t exist, I’d have to say the laundromat I guess. It was love at first sight but only for me.

Hi @Pianogirl, yes my husband left me upon diagnosis of Schizophrenia. I can live with that, what I can’t live with is the fact that he picked up our 16 year old son at 5 minutes to midnight on New Years Eve seven years ago and I have not seen nor heard from my son or ex husband since that day. It is torture not knowing how your child (now a young man) is faring in this world.

How awful! Did you get the police involved? It’s considered kidnapping actually. Unless of course the courts ordered it that way. Did the court order it? You have rights!
No, no courts involved. My son was sixteen he has the right to choose which parent he goes with. I don’t blame him for choosing his father as it must have been very frightening for him to see his mother suffering from delusions. It is just typical of his father not to have kept me informed of his progress and very cruel.
Wish i coould mind my significant other 
iv had no luck.
I med Mr. Star online. He sent me a joke about etymology, and I told my friend, wow, I’m going to marry this one! I’ve never questioned it since. We just fit perfectly.

Was this before or after schiz
I dont meet anyone.
That is cruel! Can you search for your son now that he’s an adult and see if he’s willing to get together?
Thank you @LilyoftheValley. I have tried looking for him on Facebook but he must have it private. I regularly send him text messages to his phone, but he has blocked my number. All I can do is hope that one day he will contact me if he ever finds it in his heart to forgive me (my psychosis).
I’m so sorry @Sarah. I can’t imagine the pain you’re in.

@Sarah there’s nothing to forgive. You have a disease. If someone you loved developed high blood pressure, would they need to be forgiven?
Give yourself a break. You did the best you could.
