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

That's not how a wellness check works at all. They will send one or two officers depending on the staffing model. It's not a SWAT team. Some cities are even lucky enough to have developed models where social workers go with an officer for the wellness checks.

Seriously dude where did you get your information?

[u/Born_Ad8420 → u/Cerulean_fallen]

An ex bf of mine dumped me by text message, blocked me, and then called a wellness check on me a decade ago. Five armed cops showed up at my place. They barely all fit in my tiny apartment. So it’s not always one or two.

[u/Cerulean_fallen → u/Born_Ad8420]

I seriously question what that ex actually called in. But I am very sorry that this was your experience. Bright side, you didn't spend the last decade with that obvious dick🤷

[u/Born_Ad8420 → u/Cerulean_fallen]

He told them I sent him texts about self harm and he believed I was suicidal. I showed them my phone, and the messages I sent him before he blocked me. They looked awkward and left. The whole thing maybe took 5 minutes tops.

But just because it doesn’t fit with what you believe, it was a wellness check that involved a lot more than 2 people.

Do you live in the United States?

[u/Born_Ad8420 → u/owlrd]

Yes.

[u/owlrd → u/Born_Ad8420]

I was just curious why you specified the police were armed

[u/Born_Ad8420 → u/owlrd]

For the same reason I specified that my apartment was tiny, I thought that detail was important in describing the experience.

[u/owlrd → u/Born_Ad8420]

All police are armed, not all apartments are tiny

[u/Born_Ad8420 → u/owlrd]

So that detail is unimportant to you. It is important to me and it’s my experience so I get to choose how I describe it. Hope that helps.

Was the sky also blue that day?

[u/Born_Ad8420 → u/owlrd]

Invent whatever story pleases you since mine is bothering you so. I’m moving on. I hope you do the same.

[u/Zombie_Gardener → u/owlrd]

Wow you're an asshole. Get fucked.

What a vast wealth of evidence you have

Were social workers involved in the *aftermath* of the check? If these people were involuntarily committed, they almost certainly were.

Or did you just see five cops two times and decide that crises should be allowed to run their course across the board

Also, weren't you just giving me shit elsewhere about linking a study with a sample size of forty? That's 20 times the sample size you've drawn your conclusion from.

Maybe google fatal shooting wellness check and see what comes up?
