what will happen to the sufferer long time suffering DDJ

Hi,
I am new one and please forgive my English, I am Chinese. I live with my husband of 12 years with DDJ, I believed my husband started his delusion only 1 years ago. And he is ready to file a divorce, I will accept that. We have a lovely 9-year-old son

I read the posts in this forum, and I have the same experience like other victims. I think I still love my husband and I do care about him, although he is not that man I married with anymore.

I real wonder what will happen to the sufferer long time suffering DDJ without treatment. Start the hallucination? Get other subtype delusional disorder? Can they have a live like normal?
Yes, I am caring my husband’s future, I don’t want him fall in the darkness.

Hello there.

My mother has suffered from delusional disorder for about 20 years now, starting around age 45. The delusions have grown over time. It started as somatic type (resembling hypochondria). Then, after ten years, she revealed that she also believes my father (her husband) was trying to poison/harm/kill her (persecutory DD). It's pretty much torn apart the family. She's kicked my dad out of the family home. He's stuck in limbo with a temporary housing arrangement for a few years now. In spite of his wondering, I don't think he'll ever be able to go back. My mother would be in constant fear, and my dad would have to live with constant accusations. They're both better off apart.

Note: she did have some improvement with medication (Abilify), about ten years ago, but she stopped taking it after a couple of months. She won't even consider taking medication now.

There are some periods, when if she's distracted from her delusions, she can seem normal and happy. But when I'm with her, I have to stay on my toes the entire time, constantly steering the conversation over to neutral topics like politics and weather.
