He has been getting worse, y'all know that. Well his hallucinations have been getting out of control, there were the ninjas attacking on horseback, then he was stabbed in the chest and needed a lung surgeon, then he witnessed something and a killer was in the house and was trying to kill him. The last one he called 911 twice and I told them he has dementia but they had to check it out and had to make a report.... don't blame them. just doing their jobs...BUT now he is committed, by the state. TX ... what does that mean exactly? its a mandatory one week stay possibly two weeks, I LOVE that I wont have to clean up poo or pee for that time but what happens now? can they place him directly after that? will he come home, they didn't even talk to us about it really, just came asked some questions and bam... he was in the van going a town away. I'm not sure if I should be relieved (cuz I am that he will be getting full time care with proper meds and someone other than me being a witness to things) or if I should be scared, what will they do now? take his house take everything and put him in a nasty "home" that will make him end his days neglected and alone?
So sorry you are going through that! You say he is very quiet on front of your other family members, but I suspect that once THEY take over what you've been doing, it won't be long before they get a taste of what you've been handling all this time. Good luck to you on your new job!
I would guess that the state could take guardianship especially if they think there is not proper care or oversight. Expect to receive a call from APS. If they find that proper care is provided then you probably have nothing to worry about. Look at it from their perspective though, what kind of care is being provided if there are calls to 911? Making these calls could be considered being a danger to oneself. What if neighbors started seeing this, they would fear for their children. I would too. Do everything you can to assist through this, your chances of the best possible outcome rely on you being honest. You need the decision that will be in Hus best interest and keep him safe.
