Yep, when I had to shut my dad down when I was served with my divorce because he wanted to control the entire proceding, including being my attorney (he has an ee degree ) he went absolutely mad. Literally!!! My siblings and I had to have him committed for over two weeks to rescue our sanity from his viscious attacks (from expsoing his NPD) and to save him form getting himself killed due to his flipant attitude and verbal abuse to someone other than me (since I was no longer his NS) I haven't spoken to him since he was released from the hospital in March.
