it does sound scary in dawn-land. i hope for you all tht something happens soon and that it's a way to get him the help he needs. i cannot imagine.
poor little you - watching poor ole him- has to be painful for everyone. it's amazing - isn't it? howmany people someone "takes out" with them when they go?
it's never just a matter of what you do to yourself- there are always those who care about you to consider. well- hopefully consider.
i think baker act is a way- might be either two or three family members saying you are threat to self or others.
my understnading is that threat to self- could be covered with something like not eating as well as something like threatening to kill self.
that is what i was told when i thought of calling the state agency that would come and get my sister and assessher. i was surprised, thought it was only suicide threat.
anyway - yikes. i'd still say be you. i try and stop being me when it comes to things like talking too much or jumping in to defend myself or something i'd like to just control for me.
when it comes to the "essential me" if its something like kindness or showing concern- i just don't seem to really want to be a different person. your call- good luck - it sounds like such an impossible situation- i know the feeling of watching someone "do themselves in" - it's like a slow train wreck and you see it coming- but are powerless to stop it.
sos w/ me. i managed to NOT say "YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HERE WITH ME- SO DON'T TELL ME HOW TO ARRANGE MY STINKING CABINETS when you condescent to show up for awhile" this morning- yay me. what a nutball- like i care whether he's inconvenienced once a week when he changes the garbage bag. i can't get over this jerk thinking that alllll the things i've done for years and years and years - when i worked and when i don't - over and over; all of a sudden he does and now it's important to have everything just so.
he's been a dirtball forever- crumbs everywhere- has never wiped off the stove top in his entire life- and yet- he's got his little prissy ways i'm suppos3d to "respect" ???
oh well- managed to stfu - it all passed on by. he gripes about his father being prissy- well, guess what dearie????
does anyone ever ever ever see themselves??? does anyone ever look?
we wonder.
good luck- my crap is minor compared to yours. i'm sending up little prayers for your strength in dealing with this- and hope it all unfolds in not too hair-raising of a manner.
xxoo ((( ))) hang in there. i get a bit freaked by the health issues and life of other person bit- (that's just me.) you sound pretty calm- and incontrol - so good for you. i'm outta here
