My dad has had several heart attacks in the past 10 years and had a stroke 3 years ago - he's very lucky to be alive. Anyways, in the past month or so, he's been getting very crazy, violent outbreaks. i got home from school last night and my mom told me that he almost strangled some guy in our neighborhood because he thought he was driving too fast on our street and he thought he would run over my nephew. People drive like dicks all the time, so i didnt think it was too bad cause i know my dad has a temper. But after the guy took off, he started fighting with my brother and then my mom. Today, my mom made an appointment to take him to the doctor after my dad ended up getting into a verbal fight over the phone with his mother. He has never argued with her like that as far as i know and so my mom called the doctor again to get some kind of psych appointment. the doctor told my mom that if he gets into violent altercations again, that she needs to call the police. I just got off the phone with my sister and she told me that when my dad was out with his friends at the DMV, he almost got into a fight with some guy who cut them off on the road. He never told anyone about it, so we didnt know. I dont know what the hell is going on, but now my aunt is thinking that he should be committed to a hospital or something. Anyone have some kind of mental illness in their family or something like this. It seems that after his stroke and him taking all his meds everyday, he's turing more depressed and angry every month.
