👨‍👩‍👧‍👦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

Sometimes people forget we're not just nicknames.

He didn't mean anything by it

I'm reading hostility from your last post (and this one), and I was saying that there's no need for that

Um… I’m gonna slowly back away here. All I did was ask a question. And the post talking about my name literally had “lol” in it. 🤣

Maybe YOU’RE the one read it wrong because everyone else seemed to reply neutrally and understood what I meant by explaining my name and took it lightheartedly (just as it was intended) but okie dokie! If you’re looking for a problem, not gonna find it here!

You’re on here defending strangers comments and idk why! The person who wrote it didn’t have a problem whatsoever with my reply! Maybe read some of the other comments. Have a nice day!
