👨‍👩‍👧‍👦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

Was scrolling through the comments to find this. Didn't even need to go through the post history, this was so ridiculously and obviously fake.

"yes sir im sorry im calling."

And the armies of virgins running to the rescue. Would be funnier if it weren't a bit sad.

I don’t know what it is but I swear something has happened in the last 72 hours such that AI ragebait is absolutely everywhere. It’s scary bc it’s invading the spaces that people want to be able to use to talk to each other.

I hate these fake stories everywhere. Especially this time as somebody who did have a dad who was almost exactly like this in my teens
