Have you ever lived with a mentally ill person?

I asked this because my ex has borderline personality disorder. When we lived together she used to tell people that she was a publisher, which of course was completely false. This morning I was looking for something in in my very large laundry room where there is a closet running the length of the room and I happen to look in the closet and I realized that it was filled with boxes and boxes of unused office supplies that she had apparently purchased. I have no idea why since she had no office and all of this stuff was in the original packaging. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but it was a vivid reminder of the seriousness of her illness.
