[quote=Anonymous]Do you know if he lives in Columbus proper or a suburb? If so, it would help to share which suburb. Depending on the location it may be easier to get the assistance of a mobile crisis unit or the police even if he doesn’t commit a crime; there is some weird stuff with city vs township police but maybe we can help narrow down the jurisdiction.

I’m from the area and Harding was always where people ended up in crisis but even before laws about involuntary commitment changed, it was very difficult to get there. The last person I know who was admitted had delusions and really scary behavior for years, but it took her walking into a building, making a bomb threat, and holding the “detonator” (a phone) and getting arrested to be committed. Her family was so relieved.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, OP. We have been in a similar situation with my SIL for years but she has yet to do anything violent or dangerous so we don’t have options to intervene. It’s especially hard when you are the IL navigating the dynamics of a family of origin that you’re on the outside of.[/quote]
