Thanks everyone.
Yeah that whole 5150 thing occurred to me after I posted.
He's calmed down a bit, but he's still teetering between awareness and psychosis. We had a talk. He admitted to "hearing people talk" which is fueling his delusions.
I told him he needs to see a doctor, he insisted he doesn't. He claims his god will help him - yes, the same god who is allowing all this to happen is apparently going to make it stop. 😒
I got his insurance and GP info from my mom. I'm going to call on Tuesday, as I assume they'll be closed for the holiday tomorrow, to see about getting him a referral to see a pdoc. I don't know if they will help me or not, given it's me not him calling, but if they won't, I'll have my mom call.
I mean, I'm really not the kind who believes in the whole "forced" (I guess) treatment, but I am at my wits end and I refuse to let him treat my mother like crap any longer.
I don't know.
Thanks again for the advice and words of encouragement.
