hi everyone, sorry for how long this took. apologies if i’m not doing this right as well, i’m not very accustomed to reddit and how I should go about sharing an update.

to keep it short, there’s not much of one. I went to his house with my boyfriend, he has completely fallen off the wagon. he is insanley emaciated, his spine, cheekbones, and sternum are all protruding. as a 50 year old man he easily weighs less than 105. his house was filled with black mold, flies, and VERY strange items. he had a plastic sword and a giant rock in his shower, tubs of water filled with pots, clothes, shoes. his sinks were full of rotten fruit, with absolutely no real food besides one ramen pack. the gold and gems he mentioned in some of his texts were just little necklaces and coins (like quarters and pennie’s), he was convinced my brothers 5th grade soccer medallion was worth millions and would make us rich. we started talking eventually and I was able to trick him into coming to the hospital to get his eye checked.

when we got to the hospital he immediately became agitated by the police. he started pacing, muttering under his breathe, etc. he eventually walked out. thank god I brought my mom (she was hiding, he didn’t know she was there and never saw her), she was able to talk to security and get 2 mental health workers to come talk to him. they were able to convince him to come in and get checked into a room.

needless to say they couldn’t find anything they’d be able to hold him for. apparently his eye wasn’t bad enough, or they couldn’t prove self harm. the entire time he was talking about kabbalah, trauma from his youth and how everyone in the hospital needed cleansing and that he’d save them, but since he didn’t say anything specific to harming himself or others it didn’t matter. the mental health specialist I talked to said they had nothing to hold him on, and since he refused to talk to her there was nothing more they could do.

I said my goodbyes to him, and that when he was ready to get help I would be here for him, and that he’s not a bad person. I got him a ride home, and left. I haven’t really heard from him since.

i’ve called a couple of wellness checks and he is apparently doing fine, whatever that means.

thank you so much to everyone who responded with encouragement and kindness. i’m still not really sure how to live with this, I feel like i’m grieving him again, even though he’s still alive. to those who responded without reading everything - I love my father as much as I can given everything he’s put me through, it was never about his views, it was always about his safety and health.

tldr: got him to the hospital and was told there’s nothing they can do.

edit: I forgot to add that the psychologist was convinced it was marijuana induced psychosis even though this all started before he starting smoking weed 🫠

hi everyone! this tune by of the trees hit a place of my soul that’s i’ve never felt, i’ve never cried at a show before but for this one song I couldn’t stop. if anyone could direct me to what song this is id be eternally greatful! (or lmk if it’s unreleased so I don’t go crazy)
