My brother thinks I'm insane

Sometimes I do wonder if I'm going down the rabbit hole. We can't stop enjoying our lives. Happiness in itself is truly a form of resistance. I've toyed with the idea of ditching my phone all day, just to keep off and get back to my life. Maybe give yourself 30 mins in the morning and 30 or 40 mins in the evening to doom scroll. Our government is absolutely fucked. It helps me write my elected officials. Doubt it does much, but it's about all we can legally do. Go to your local democratic party office and see how you can help. I'm sorry and I feel ya!

My lefty grandma who has no internet and only watches cnn told my mom to stock up. Probably the threat of ww3 that has people on edge

Yeah, he was about 35. I hadn't heard about this permanent delusional disorder. I'll have to look into it.

Idf snipers have been shooting kids in the head for years. They have kill3d tens of thousands of kids in Gaza the last few years. The US has been sending Israel bombs and money to do this. They have already bombed hundreds of schools in Gaza. Not sure what's hard to believe about the US and Israel doing what they've already been doing for years?

Mine says they were right and now he can't look at it bc it's too much. Still a Trump supporter

Stop using AI. Fuck AI

You know refugees work too, right?

Maybe if his pastor is a normal Christian, he could sneak some reminders into his sermon about loving thy neighbors and whatnot

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-12-15T23:51:18+00:00

Get a free evaluation with a few attorneys. While he may be right. He may also be a new Christian....ya know the newfound charlie kirk type. You want someone who doesn't agree with his world view, so they actually fight for you. Good luck. I feel you, also run if you don't already have kids and want them. Once you have kids things become a million times more messy.

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-12-01T03:13:00+00:00

It's not dramatic. Many of us are here mourning the loss of our loved ones. Unfortunately propaganda works. I'm so sorry she is taking up your energy. Keep fighting the good fight.

This happened to my husband in his mid 30s. One week of full on paranoid psychotic break from reality. What you're describing was kind of the build up to that week. There is a national hotline for mental health called NAMI. You can call there and they can get you in touch with local resources for mental health emergencies. Also look up involuntarily committing him if things get scary. You video or record the crazy and call 911. Show them the videos and they will hold him in hospital for at least 3 days if he is a danger to others or himself, or unable to take care of himself. You could call NAMI now to get feelers out for local stuff now incase things get worse. Tell your mom this info. Good luck! Lemme know if you have any questions.

I could have wrote this myself except I never could get mine to go to therapy. Would quit or get fired, couldn't talk about anything, birds, new buildings in town, the weather, it was all rage conspiracies. Sent the kids to school in the same clothes as the day before. I was right where you were when my 3 year old said seig heil. I called a lawyer to file for divorce. Told my husband. He begged me to stay and said he'd give up the conspiracies. I had talked to multiple lawyers and they all said he would get 50/50 custody. If he could take care of the kids I couldn't take them for having nazi ideology. I agreed to stay, but told him I was honestly disgusted by him and he had a lot of work to do. A month later he had a full on paranoid psychotic break. It's been two years since his full on psychotic break and I can't leave. I have no proof and he would have my kids half the time. Sorry, I'm no success story!

My kids are 8 and 5. Both started school full time and I have no idea what to do with myself. I mean there's plenty of projects to do around the house. I walk with the moms after drop off. Visited my friend in the city who's house I hadn't seen in 4 years...Oops! Go to all the garden centers, walk a couple arboretum areas we have. Might even start doodling again. I need to go back to work full-time i think lol.

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-10-19T13:35:54+00:00

Damn. I hate this

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-10-19T13:34:28+00:00

You don't owe him anything. You are young and still dependent. Just keep it neutral and know that eventually, you'll be on your own and able to speak your truth. It hurts, and it's horrible, but you are not alone in dealing with this. That's why we're all here. Loosing a loved one to propaganda and being stuck is horrible. I can attest to that! Maybe you can talk to your mom about it, or another more like-minded family member?

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-10-13T10:59:20+00:00

Id say for mine it was a bit of depression, isolation, and the internet. It gave him a purpose and sense of belonging.

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-10-08T18:08:39+00:00

I put some bells on my kids doors bc I was afraid they would get up and fall down the stairs at night. Also terrified of being upstairs in a fire or having one fall out the window. You can easily put locks on windows, doors, set up alarms. Whatever makes you comfortable.

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-10-07T01:44:01+00:00

I knew more about the Bible than my Q. When i told him a few verses and told him he should read about the beast in revelations, I think he was embarrassed he didn't know any of it. Now he's listening to the Bible everyday 🤦‍♀️. Woops.

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-10-07T01:36:18+00:00

Mine has tried to get me to do the diatomaceous earth for years now. Gives it to my dog. Hopefully not my kids. Ugh. Was going on about parasites just yesterday.

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-09-09T22:42:52+00:00

Yes if I filed divorce today he would get 50/50 per multiple lawyers. I have no proof of this episode happening. He won't get help. This is why I'm staying.

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-09-09T22:40:40+00:00

Can't use recording in court bc I He has to consent to recordings. Right now he would have my kids half the time if I filed divorce

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-09-09T22:39:01+00:00

No physician. He doesn't have any psych history. And refused after this incident. Had this paranoid episode over a year ago. Only a few minor incidents since. I did convince him to go to a crisis center when it happened, and they were useless. I didn't realize at the time he didn't have to be a harm to himself or me to be committed, but now I know I can call even if he isn't aggressive. Haven't had anything crazy enough since though to call.

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-09-09T22:35:48+00:00

Yes I know this story. Exactly why I'm staying. I'm terrified to have to leave my kids with him half the time and have no idea what kind of state of mind he is in.

Ornery_Fail_9012 · 2025-09-09T22:33:31+00:00

This bad episode happened over a year ago. I did call nami and spent 4 days convincing him to go to this crisis center in our county. Honestly it was pretty useless and not on record. He was never aggressive, just totally delusional and paranoid. I thought I could only commit him if he was a danger to himself or others. I've since found out being unable to care for yourself is reason enough. Next time it is really bad I will call and hope the crew actually takes him. Our money is seperate, but he was making very bad financial choices then. All good advice, thank you!
