For all the people who responded to me on how I might best help my friend and anyone else interested. He is now on 72-hour hold after being in jail overnight, being released and trying to destroy a business a family member worked at. This time, they took him to the nearby hospital for evaluation. I think his sister and friends will be able to sleep for at least a few days, knowing he can't hurt himself or disappear and not know what's going on. As much as I hated being in a psych ward, I know it will be the best place for him. And even though he may hate me now, at least he can hate me and possibly work to feel better and take care of himself. Thank you everyone for your support. Bless you all and good luck to all who are in recovery.

Well, after what happened with him on Sunday, I told him I cared but that I would only see him again once he got some help. He found out that his sister and I were keeping in touch and erased my number from her phone so it took an extra day for her to find my number again.

I don't think he remembers much of Sunday, but he switched from verbally abusing me and crying and telling me how much I was hurting him by not going in with his pyramid scheme. He basically kidnapped me and wouldn't take me back to my car. I wasn't afraid. I've been around manic before and I do not believe he could physically harm anyone, but I would not communicate with him after Sunday except to email him about getting help.

Thank you. I and his other friend and family can have at least a few good night's sleep not worrying about what he is going to do next.

Take Care
