>>5807013My brother wrestled the gun away from him without issue, and then my father went the hospital to get checked on by a psychologist (psychiatrist?). He was released in just two weeks, and put on some anti-psychotic medication. Unfortunately, it was the completely wrong meds, and it actually made my fathers condition worse.
Just two months later, my father tried to commit suicide by slitting his wrists. My brother found him, and when we rushed outside to the backyard, there was so much blood.
We called an ambulance, and my father thankfully survived.
It's funny, because on the day of my fathers psychotic break, my mother told me and my brother, "You do realize he's going to kill himself, right?"
Half right, half wrong.
Well, a little while after he slit his wrists, my mother got a divorce. My father had been very controlling and his literal insanity was just too much for us all to take.
After my father healed up, he actually underwent electroshock therapy. It scrambled his brains, and he actually got better. He's still alive, he knows what he did, and he's sorry.
But after all that shit, I still don't feel like I want him back in my life.
Thanks to all that shit, I am now really mature for my age, and try to be the best man I can be. I stand up tall, I study hard, I work hard, I learned to cook, clean, take care of people and pets, and do basically what ever is expected of me. After learning all that, I got another skill; speed learning. Just after doing something once, I can do it almost perfectly. I use all these new skills to be a great man, and try to be the person that others look up too, despite my young age.
