To be honest, while some of that does sound odd and not really okay in terms of how to treat others, your dad is an adult. It does not sound as though he is acting in a way that is outright dangerous to himself or anyone else, so it is unlikely that anyone can force your dad to do anything if he is unwilling to acknowledge or change his behavior. GP included. Not saying that might not be hard to deal with, but it sounds like he has the ability to understand what he is doing and does not want to change.

That said, if he is a safety threat to you, your family, or himself, etc., then you can absolutely phone the police or other crisis resources to get him assessed. If not, it might be better to focus on what you can do for yourself to take care of yourself and your own mental health, as those are things you have more situational control over.



Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.


You can't always keep it separate.
This is happening, this is part of you.
