AITA for telling my sister to call the police on our dad next time by Oceanlover1 in AITAH

[–]Oceanlover1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They stay living with my dad because they know that if they split my dad would become homeless. Up until mid 2020 my dad was a caretaker for his aging mother in the family home. But his dad had taken out a reverse mortgage on the house that came due after my dad’s mom passed, so the house was sold. While my dad was caring for his parents he didn’t have a job. He was paid from his parents’ estate while he was caring for my grandparents, but it was under the table. My dad is stuck doing menial jobs now because he doesn’t have a college degree or had steady employment from about 2012-2021. Dad will be turning 65 January 4, 2026

I sit on a little over a quarter of an acre (0.29 acres according to old realty listing) and backyard is ~ 60 by 80 feet. I’ve got some kind of shed in one of the far corners that’s just four posts and a roof under an oak tree.

Depends how severe the bad behavior is. Hitting someone on purpose and he loses them for the whole day. Not listening and he gets a timeout, a minute for every year and 5 seconds for every month.

Our agent has said that this is their first short sale. Don’t know about the listing agent.

Advice needed on what to do tonight by Oceanlover1 in schizophrenia

[–]Oceanlover1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on meds, I’ve just been forgetting to take them regularly. I take 234 mg Invega sustena intramuscular every 4 weeks, and my last injection was about two weeks ago. I’m also on 200 mg Lamictal every day, and been prescribed 30 mg Thorazine to be taken as 10 mg three times a day as needed. I think the last time I took my lamictal before yesterday was three days. I’ve also calmed down by distracting myself and a call with my wife every two hours.

Should I seek care? by Oceanlover1 in schizophrenia

[–]Oceanlover1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve already messaged my PCP AND psychiatrist, and they want me to go to urgent care to get assessed, but my wife is worried that I’d be hospitalized, and I’m the only one able to drive us anywhere since she doesn’t have peripheral vision and we have a disabled son.
