[QUOTE="Belle, post: 703297, member: 20661"] Thank you again for taking the time to reply. Words of advice and comfort are always such a help at low times. Not much has changed, really. I've been scouting about trying to find him somewhere to live but it is proving difficult as prices in our area are very high given that we're less than an hour from London. I found a nice little place he could have of his own further up the country at a really good price per week but he refuses to move so far away. I kind of get that it's a big step moving away from everything and everyone you know but I try to instill in him that it would be a fresh start, in a new place, no constant looking over his shoulder, having his own front door to close and know that he'll be safe with no fear of being kicked out or losing his things. Not working yet though. He's still looking for local rooms which I don't think is a good idea - mainly because he can't seem to share accommodation without something going wrong and also because being so close to us is too easy for him (and hard for us!) He knocked at 12.50am last night but my husband wouldn't let him talk to me, said I was up in bed and to come back the next day - so I've that to look forward to today, LOL! I'm assuming it's because he's back on the street again so I'll just keep plodding on with the suggestion of moving away vs the cold, wet street. Pacific, we also had thought of that and I even suggested it to the mental health team and they dismissed it saying if he was indeed that paranoid about being watched/listened to - then it was a really bad idea to make that become real. I understood what they meant which is why I'd been so reluctant to do it in the first place but to acknowledge his paranoia in one breath and dismiss it in another was so upsetting and infuriating for us.
