Dealing with a rather serious issue where my father has decided he's going to return to that same abusive energy growing up and has decided to bully and threaten my mom. Like, in a 'I will kill you and this is not a threat' way. Unfortunately, due to 'he said she said' rules, the most he is under right now is a psyche evaluation, but good sociopaths know how to manipulate the system. She's protected in her own house with her things, but I have also protected the family here in the event anything is tried.

This really isn't unexpected. My dad was always abusive, it is just my brother and I grew up and learned how to hit back.

Edit: and for transparency. I'm part sociopath. So I know what bullshit he can pull. And after seeing what he's been pulling, let's just say he needs to learn we can still hit back, but with the legal system now...
