My son is 20.
He lived with my parents the last few years. I have been staying here a few months. Hehas always had issues mentally punching holes, acting aggressive etc. He has been in hospital and talked his way out.
The last month he has been obsessed with his health. Saying he can't move his arms etc. Saying he is disabled. Becoming agressive because every MRI, ultrasound, xray, cat scan on every part of his body shows nothing. He is obsessed with his health following us around, making everyone google things etc.
Last night he lost it again. Told us he wants to kill us, kill himself etc. Picked up a pair of scissors. Stabbed his leg.
Police came. He jumped the fence but they got him. He went to hospital where the Psychiatrist today said he was going to discharge him because he says he isn't going to hurt himself or anyone else. I was shocked. He has a huge history. There are recordings on my phone of him losing it and saying things about killing himself/us. I basically threatened to go to the media with these recordings and explain to them this person was deemed mentally stable enough to be let out.
They had a quick change of heart and have admitted him for 24 hours. He is excellent at playing the system.
Police put a violence order so he cant come here and I know he has nowhere to go, no money and this mental state. We are now fearful for our life and his life as this will be a huge shock to him that we all turned our back. He has always said he will burn the house down if this ever happened and kill us.
My family is petrified but also feeling guilty because he has nowhere to go and mentally isnt capable of looking after himself. However he refuses to accept anything is wrong mentally, stopped all medication and his mind is deterioating. He threatened to kill his last Psychiatrists family. None of us can live like this anymore.
Anyone been in this situation? They wont keep him in longer as he has been cooperating etc. He knows what to say to get out. I'm anxious. Can't sleep. So fearful of what will happen next. I think he is going to kill someone or himself. The police are aware of everything.
I dont know what to do.
