Hi; thanks for the replies! I'm beginning to get really concerned about my ex's mental stability; no mud-slinging here, I really am thinking there's a problem. I've always though he's the biggest liar I've ever known in my life, but now I think he may well be delusional. Sometimes the lies he tells are clearly to paint a false picture, but sometimes he lies about things that are completely irrelevant and can so easily be proved false, often things said or done with witnesses present. He's like a dog with a bone; even after it's proven that what he said is false, he just continues to insist vehemently that it's the truth.
I've been told by several people that he's heavily using cocaine (and likely selling it, too) in addition to his alcoholism, and I'm sure that's some of the problem; maybe all. But one of his siblings is a paranoid schizophrenic, diagnosed and medicated for years, and the more irrational my ex becomes, I have to wonder if this isn't a problem for him, too. What can I do? I don't want appear to be falsely accusing or anything, but how does one go about addressing the issue through the legal system?
