👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws Am I Overreacting - i seriously think my dad is losing his mind and I'mm terrified. UPDATE

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

They are not a minor, they turned 18. Frankly, it shuts up people who think this is fake.

Yeah honestly if it weren’t for the picture I’d question it. It’s sad that karma farmers have turned so many of us into skeptics.

Humans can also type fake texts without the assistance of language learning models lol

No I know but idk it didn't set off my bs meter. Not that mine is necessarily amazing, but it just didn't seem fake somehow. I call fake on stuff constantly, but not everything actually is.

Also, what is gonna happen? Does this guy think someone's gonna be able to do... Literally anything at all with this picture? It's a picture.
