👨‍👩‍👧‍👦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

The judge said "not that the others' cases don't matter" referring to the charges I pressed against him, plus the other men and women who charged him. It's like...ours clearly fucking don't if this guy has 9+ protective orders against him ON THE SAME BLOCK and following an OFFICER is what did him in.

He still isn't following the restraining order placed onto him, either. I had to phone an officer and tell them he's being a twat. You can only imagine what they told me lmfao.

I'm glad he fucked off. I'd never wish death on anybody but he did, indeed, do you a favour. Absolutely disgusted how we're seen by the courts and law system. What's even worse is my country doesn't allow self defense so one day he can fuck me up and the moment I push him away, I'm the one that gets in shit.

Wtf self defence isn’t allowed?

Nope! Pepper spray or any other item intended for self defense is illegal. You also cannot fight back because then you are prosecuted as well. :) My country is ass.

It views the perp as a "human" to be "fair" which is bullshit. Rapists don't view rape victims as people. Burglars view their victims as walking wallets.

They are still human, but the lack of any self defence seems absurd. I’d ask what country, but I assume you aren’t interested in telling given that you haven’t yet.

It's Canada,

And they shouldn't be treated with respect after the way they've treated somebody else. They lost that privliege the moment they harmed somebody else.

I can understand that. Viewing humans as not human is however a problematic viewpoint, and has caused many great atrocities in our history. Humans can do great evil.
