Well it's certainly been a night.

Keep in mind that we're still not directly involved but things escalated quickly and, to my surprise, in a scary way. Her cousin(P) apparently had been making some enemies as of late and shared some text messages with some people where they were basically threatening his life and his family. P responded to those texts with threats of violence and then shared screenshots of those texts with Dana. Dana then sent those texts to P's wife and she started the process of getting the police and the hospital informed because sh*t was obviously getting out of hand.

Now I don't know where P was tonight but apparently he came home to his house that he lives in, rent free at the expense of his (and Dana's aunt), and demanded a check for $10,000. He had already burned through $15,000 on unknown things in the last 48 hrs so she said she doesn't have the money and he flipped absolute sh*t and threatened to hurt her if she doesn't cough up the dough so she called the police and they arrived and escorted him to the hospital in an ambo.

I don't have much more in depth detail because we're not directly involved but it seems like his mania has manifested itself so bad that he's resorted to threats and violence to achieve his desires and goals...which is an extreme result of a sever case of psychotic induced mania.

Hopefully he's getting committed and not released because I don't know how much more that woman can take but the threat of violence was pretty apparent so I'd be shocked if they release him but the police gunna police sometimes.

...

As for the aunt. She means well but frankly thinks that if she just appeases his demands, that it'll get it out of his system and he'll snap out of it. It's delusional coddling parental psychology at its finest. P is only like this when he's psychotic which isn't often. Her handling of this is just as frustrating and anger inducing as his behavior but she's doing it out of fear/love/stupidity and it's hard to yell at a woman who has just been through literal hell.
