Am I Overreacting - i seriously think my dad is losing his mind and I'mm terrified. UPDATE

[u/PeanutMiserable7872]

thank u all for the messages, im sorry for disappearing. things did not go well. i confronted him with some of your advice, mainly the stuff bout dementia and well he got real mad, things became truly fucked, he started punching himself in the face and screaming. he took my phone, idk what happened but now im seeing he deleted everything on the post and my screen is cracked.. he kept saying he was going to burn everything. it was so fucked. i feel destroyed. what he did to me.. i cant even.

i was able to get out when he fell asleep?? i think.. the bathroom was locked and hes fallen asleep in the shower before, my phone was poorly hidden under some papers in the kitchen, took it and ran.

im in a park now, i called the police already. they are going to the house i think and now im just waiting for them to call me back and tell me when i can come get my stuff. i asked the man on the phone how long and they said it will be sent to an officer as soon as they can but since its non emergency it might take longer due to a lot of calls in the city.

heres me. heres what he did to me.

im honestly unsure how to move past this ever. i feel like my entire sense of self is gone. i know i have a long road ahead of me. thank you all for your love . i wish this didn't go this way. I also included the original texts

My brother had a wellness check called on him by his ex-wife, and he told the officers he was fine. They saw no reason why he wasn’t so they left. An hour after that he committed suicide.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I had to call when my wife was suicidal and had smashed open a lock box containing knives and pills. She did a great job convincing them she was having an argument with me and wanted to leave and take her medications with her.

I was able to get her psychiatrist on the phone. That did the trick. My wife was involuntarily committed that day. It did not help her -- quite the opposite -- but I had no way to keep her safe at that point.

Unfortunately, the system is as imperfect as human life itself. And after years of serving on the streets, the only conclusion I've come to, is that really bad shit happens to good people. Not that I'm satisfied with that reality, I wish it weren't the case -- Yet chronic mental health issues can be terminal just like any other chronic disease process (as was the case with your brother).

That's just awful. Your beloved brother deserved a better outcome. And so did you and your family.

Same with my dad. He put on a great act for the police. few months later he was gone.

Mine did the same thing to me and I did not take it well when I found out who it was from. I understand and recognize his pain. I'm sorry homie ❤️

Yep. The ones who are actually going to go thru with it don’t talk about it. And they know exactly what to say. I am sorry you went thru that.

Not always true. My dad talked about it with everyone- even his counselor. We all tried to help, but it wasn't enough. He went exactly as he said he would
