    Continuing prayers for you and your folks, Gayle.

    Mom just called me. She gave her statement. Was asked if she ever felt threatened by dad, she replied no, but during a phone call while he's been locked up he wasn't sure he was actually talking to her or someone else. She was also asked if she felt she could take care of him in his present state, she replied No. They thanked her for her input and that was it. Now we wait.

    I congratulated her on standing her ground and finally using her backbone. Told her to go get herself a reward of some sort this afternoon. Regardless of the outcome now she's done good!

    I just came to check this thread and see how things are going since yesterday was Sept. 1. I'll keep praying.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Visiting with Mom. Dad is going to be staying at the hospital for a while yet. His release was denied. Prayers answered. Hopefully they can get him on some meds to ease his mind and maybe bring him home in the future.

    He is safe and getting care where he is. Yup, hope they can get him to take some meds. Hugs to you and your mum.

    Gayle, I brought your Dad up at prayer concerns at church today, and one woman stopped me afterwards and said you and your mom should look for support groups for the families of the mentally ill. She had a sister, now deceased, that was mentally ill, and she said often the folks in the support groups were more helpful and knowledgeable than the medical professionals.
