[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, wow, that escalated quickly. A few notes: BIL is not dangerous, never has been, and holds down a PT job where he works 30ish hours a week, mostly overnight. Yes, we are going to help MIL and BIL. We care about them and don't want them to suffer. Thanks for all the input! We're going to reach out to adult services in their county for help. [/quote] The symptoms you described are consistent with schizophrenia and psychosis. It’s great he hasn’t been violent, but that’s not the only way danger comes into the situation. Your MIL is a vulnerable person living with a mentally ill AC who is probably also vulnerable. It’s not safe. It escalated because multiple posters suggested that MIL should essentially be punished and that her family has no responsibility. It’s relieving to know you actually plan to help. [/quote]
