I think my Dad is paranoid!!! He's
beginning to argue more with my mom, locks
the front gate with a chain & lock,
disconnects the phone, sleeps by the front
door and wants my mom to give up her job
and friends. I don't know what to do! He
told her that if she doesn't do what he
says then he's filing for divorce and
leaving her with nothing! Please help, my
dad needs help,so do i call a mental
hospital and have him admitted, i don't
know what to do. He won't talk to me. I
have a really BAD FEELING, what do i do?
My mom loves him,but she's scared of him!
He also told her that he knows how to hurt
her without leaving any marks!!

Your dad is clearly in need of some
psychiatric intervention. If he threatens
your mom he can be forced to see a doctor.
Your mom needs to look into what she can
do to get him help. You need to talk to
your mom. Tell her you are afraid. If she
can not get him help and she is afraid
then you and your mom should go somewhere
safe.

Reassure your father about the love in
your family and how strong it is, and ask
him why he is acting this way because YOU
CARE. Try to empathise with his feelings,
despite how hard it may be. But seek the
advice of a professional first. Maybe you
and your mum could go see someone
together?

MY MOM... Posted: 06-26-08 13:43pm
HELP.. I have no idea what to do, A
couple months ago my mom came to me
telling me that my step dad is whatching
her every move and that he gets messeges
on the t.v. and that he can get messeges
on the tv by email and know. So I though
that it may be happeing. Now she sais he
may have cameras around the house. She
changed her phone like 3 times in the past
2-3 months because she feals like some one
is listing to her conversations. I live
with her and my family she thinks that we
can control her cell phone with the
computer or remote control. Also she says
she can hear everything when she is in her
room, when she whent to the store she
notive that this guy was smiling at her,
that was stange for her because she does
not know tha guy, but she says WHY was he
smiling at me. So simple things like that
or going through the tv menu freaks her
out, resently shes been under a lot of
stress she has lost the house for we cant
pay for anymore so please it seams like
nothing but its afecting our lifes and I
need to know if is a medical isue or what.

Sounds like boths of these users have very
bed problems. They clearly need in house
theropy IMHO. This sound very serious. I'm
talking major paranoia. Is there any
underlying issues you can both think of
that could be triggering these episodes?
Like for instance my dad had a horse
gamling problem and had to sell every
piece of furniture in the apt and then
some of his bookies. I never knew my dad
that goodness. He left mom before she had
me.
Most important. did this seems to just all
of a sudden come on or did you start to
see on suttle changes in them. If it came
on suddenly, it may be they feel someone
is after them. And it very well could be a
reality. You have to get them for help.
Unforutnatly, you can't just take them to
a mental intitution and drop them off at
the front door. They have to be a treat to
themselves or others, or walk in and admit
themselves. Now a doctor can intervein and
ge them in.
All I can say is that you both have a very
serious issue on your shoulders. There is
no quick anwer if they can't see this for
themselves and want the help.
