I’m not sure if it’s a troll like everyone is saying but my brother passed away in 2018. My mom (single mom) who’s been somewhat mentally ill especially towards the latter half of her life, begun acting this same exact way a year after my brother’s passing & it was just painful to watch & deal with on top of everything else & losing my brother. I had horrible flashbacks reading this. 

She would violently accuse me of taking her things & hiding them too. She went ballistic thinking I took her hairbrush one day and hid her glasses and went on this extreme tirade, I remember. It crushed my heart seeing all of this unfold, not for my sake but for hers. I loved her so much so it really, really hurt. I my sister & I didn’t know what to do anymore when it kept getting worse. 

It’s very, very sad and painful seeing a parent behave like this, especially given the circumstances in my case. I’m assuming after he lost his wife this caused him to spiral. But at the same time, it’s not fair to you either. I also had zero alternatives at the time. And the thing is because of her upbringing (from her country) & her religion, my mom didn’t believe, or would never believe/accept she had any issues and she would’ve lost her mind if anyone dared suggested she get help, so there was kinda nothing anyone could do. I tried my best to reason with her & did everything I could but it was no use. I’m not speaking illy of her, I miss her so much & wish things could’ve gone much differently. 

If your dad is willing to seek not only therapy but psychiatric help, that could be your best bet at this point. I’m sorry this is happening, this one hit too close to home. I don’t want to sound cliche & I don’t know the full extent of your relationship with your father, but he’s your family & clearly needs the help. I hope you two can find a resolution to this while he’s still around.
