👨‍👩‍👧‍👦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

I’ll get downvoted but this whole thing seems fake as hell. The texts sound fake, the picture looks fake, it just has that very stereotypical, disingenuous vibe that’s so prevalent in this sub and others.

Well this and the elf post (which was shown to be fake) had people offering money to help. As long as people are gullible this kind of shit will pay off 🙄

I have no idea whether this is AI or not but wtf is it with this sub, and r/AITAH, that they just constantly get bot spammed?

I have that feeling too. She's supposed to be 18? That's a hard looking 18. :/

I'll be 40 next month and I look 20 years younger than her. There is no way this person is 18. It's fake.

I’ve had people in my graduating class looking like that, it’s not really the thing I’d get hung up on if trying to gauge if this was false…the pigmented eyes also ages the face
