Guidance For How My Mother Can Keep Her Husband, Who Is Experiencing Psychosis, Away From Her And Her Family

Location: Florida

My mother (A) lives with her mother (B) in her condo. B is the owner of the condo, and A is the only beneficiary listed. A has lived there for 10+ years now, consistently paying rent.

Backstory on C. C has had a lot of troubles in life and had spent 5 years in prison before meeting my mom. They got together 16 years ago and married. C was on a good path in life, but stumbled backwards when his father got sick and died. C dabbled into multiple drugs including meth, and eventually wound up back in prison for nine years. He has been out of prison for one year, and living with my mom, and her mom B at B’s place. There is no formal lease or contract agreement between them. C has been receiving mail there for an extended period of time now.

He experienced terrible things that seem to be the unfortunate reality for many of those who are incarcerated. He experienced assault, solitary confinement, he was on the verge of death several times due to untreated Crohn’s disease along with several bad infections. He eventually had surgery for a stoma and uses bags now. He also chose to do whatever drugs were available in prison to, self medicate, as he claimed and my mom confirmed, he wasn’t allowed any medications that would actually help the pain.

I am not sharing these details necessarily in effort to gain sympathy or to invite unnecessary advice on what should of happened. I’m sharing these details because I think they are important to what lead to G’s mental health’s decline, and for viewers to know my mom has tried very hard. A side note to add is that my mother has never messed with drugs.

C is experiencing a list of psychosis symptoms and refuses to get help, and has been making A and B’s life extremely stressful. The condo is in a HOA ran community and are now at risk of facing consequences due to his actions. He has consistently been laying down, shouting, and preaching in the middle of the community’s roads. He has been getting into verbal fights with neighbors. He has wrecked my mom’s car (he isn’t on the title or insurance). He has gotten into B’s face. He has been blatantly racist and singling out a family in the community. He even was walking around with an axe like tool.

The police have been called by neighbors and my mom. They claim he is not doing anything wrong, and they can’t make him leave because 1) they are married & 2) that is his residence. That he also is allowed to drive my moms car because he had been doing so prior to becoming like this, and because they’re married. They told my grandmother B that she cannot change the locks and lock him out. A and B have expressed to the police that he is a danger to himself and society and they basically said, they don’t agree and can’t do anything anyways because they are married.

My mom eventually got him to accept an uber ride an hour away to family. Thirty minutes into the ride the uber driver called my mom and said she had kicked him out because he was being erratic. He had since been gone for five days. My mom blocked his phone number and cut off communication with him. She touched base with a family member of his to make sure he was ok though. About an hour ago B called my mother at her work and said that C had shown back up to the condo and claimed he rode a train there. He is still displaying signs of psychosis.

What should and can she even do at this point. And are the police even correct with what they’ve told them? I’ve suggested at least for A to file for a divorce and B to get an eviction letter together for documentation purposes. Their concerns were how would he be served either of those. Not sure how to even go forward and am concerned for everyone’S safety.

Last side note I wanted to add is that my mother has stood by his side through everything, forgave him for the unforgivable, allowed him to put her in dangers way, had a life set up for him for when he got out. Financially supported him. Made and tried to get him to attend therapy, psychiatrist appointments, and GI appointments. She spent a lot of money on these appointments, for him to choose not to go. She even tried to find jobs for him that he could do while one being and felon, and two having the bag. It’s extremely difficult for my mom to separate herself from him, knowing that he isn’t in the right state of mind. No one wants him to go back to prison, we just want him to seek help. She isn’t just a bad person who doesn’t want to deal with him and just wipe her hands clean. This is very difficult for her, but she needs to put herself first, and keep herself out of dangers way.
