It was a case I remembered because my dad, who was eighty, was having some health problems and they were putting pressure on my mom to put him in a nursing home.
My mom was as close to a break down as I have ever seen her over this although I kept reassuring her that dad was not going to a home. They would be moving in with us if that became necessary.
Thankfully he got better so they are still in their own place.
But this was such an incredibly sad story for the families.
Apparently crazy guy's family had done what they could to get him help but they kept throwing pills at him and letting him out.
Ironically you are more likely to get involuntary commitment over domestic issues then you are for being stone cold nuts.
Thanks for the update.
And I’m glad things worked out for your Dad.
