I am so worried

[lesliemarie]

I am so worried, My dad called me a few days ago and said my mom went postal and the police and ambulance had to be called and took her to the hospital and admited to the psychiatric ward, she got even more crazy and checked her self out and walked all the way home. My dad packed his stuff up and left her, I have been trying to call for two days and no one answers. My mom is really nuts, when I was growing up their fights were so violent, huge holes in the walls., my dad would scream he got his gun and going to kill everyone. so I am very scared about what is going on. I don't know if I should call the police in Gilber Arizona to see if they can check on them? I am going to be so stressed for Thanksgiving this year.

I am so sorry that this is happening to you. It would never be easy, but I am sure that it is even more difficult during the holidays.
Prayers to you and remember you can lean on your family here any time you need to you.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. It must be even more stressful for it to be at this time of year.

My understanding of psych wards comes from television and movies, so may not be accurate, but I don't see how she was able to check herself out unless she was the one who checked in. If someone is really a danger to themselves or others because of psychological problems, they are committed by someone else (or court order) and would be unable to leave of their own volition.

Since they live so far away, do you have relatives in the area you could call to check on her? Since the police would be aware of the situtation, you could call them. They might at least be able to give you an idea of what to do next.

I hope you get in contact with your parents soon, and that every thing works out alright.

Lesliemarie:

how are things going? Any news on your parents? I agree with Kathryn, I see no reason why you shouldn't call the police and ask them to find out what is happening. Are there any social services that can get involved? It seems like an explosive situation. I sounds as if both of your parents need a (different) degree of supervision/care.

Thinking of you,

I finally got a hold of my mom, no one would answer the home phone, I called my moms cell a second time and she answered it and we talked for a bit, she didn't say anything about what was going on there, I didn't ask either but I didn't want her to start screaming at me, I know her anger, have felt her anger so many times growing up and to be honest I am still scared of her. I called their house on Thanksgiving and my dad answered, he said he came back because he can't get to far from his oxygen, The two are still at each others throat, my mom took his truck away and selling it, and took away his banjo and won't let him have it back. and music is his life that is what keeps his mind off my mom. all I can say about this fight is I am glad I am here in Utah and not there. My mom is so controlling, she has to have control over everything and everyone. and if she doesn't have control she can be very mean and nasty and abusive.
