Update: AITAH for wanting to call the cops on my brother

Hi everyone. I posted on here a while ago, concerning my brother (17M) who was experiencing delusions and hearing voices. I asked if calling the police was an AH move. A lot of you gave me really good advice and I appreciated your support. I’m here to update you on the situation.

Unfortunately, it’s all gone to crap.

My dad WAS going to take my brother to the hospital after the disastrous Thanksgiving weekend, but decided AGAIN against it. I tried to talk to him about my suspicion, that this isn’t just autism and my brother is in serious danger. He waved me off. His new theory is that my brother is experiencing these symptoms due to adverse reactions to his medicine. Now you may be thinking, didn’t Bro have these symptoms BEFORE he was taking these medications? You would be correct.

But Christmas changed everything. Bro didn’t want to be a part of it. He opened a couple of gifts and then went to hide under some blankets. My dad then decided that we should take him to get looked at. Mom said no, that it would ruin Christmas. They fought. Sis talked to Bro and found out that the voices were telling him to hurt others again. This voice has a name now…Sis thought it was Vinnie or Vinna or something along those lines. We decided enough was enough and tried getting Bro to get up and go outside. He didn’t want to. We pulled him to his feet and he started shouting “no, no!“

Then he shoved me.

I hit a dog kennel and got busted up pretty bad. There’s a line of bruises from my hip to my knee. Bro came to his senses and got really scared. I calmed him down and took him out to the car. Dad, Sis, and I took Bro to the hospital. We spent the entire afternoon there. Dad tried saying that it was just a reaction to the meds but Sis and I put our feet down. The doctors ran some tests and whatever is causing Bro to act this way isn’t biological. No tumor or anything. We now have to try to make an appointment with a psychiatrist and get a diagnosis. But the doctors agreed with Sis and I: Bro needs help.

I don’t know what will happen now. My leg hurts pretty bad. My knee is swollen and there’s a bruise the size of my fist. I still can’t believe this is all happening. Bro is still my baby and I will move Heaven and Earth for him. This is breaking my heart. But we have finally gotten him to a doctor and are getting him help. No cops necessary. Thank you again to everyone who has offered me support. Happy holidays to you all!
