I wanna start by saying my dad is a pretty heavy alcoholic (drinks a couple glasses of whiskey every night). A couple weeks ago we were at a family reunion for my moms side of the family. My dad drank about the same as usually mabye even less. It started in the hotel room when my mom spilled red wine on a chair cushion. I don’t exactly remember when but he began to act really weird and was kind of out of it. He then began to think we were plotting against him and when he saw the stain he was like “is that my blood” and was acting scared of us like we were going to kill him or something. He kept saying he knows what we’re plotting and then he was like I gotta get out of here. He left the hotel room and started fucking walking to nowhere (towards the Forrest). We wanted to make sure he didn’t wander in the lake and drown or kill him self so we went after him. As soon as he saw us he started running (he’s not very fast) and I caught up to him and he wouldn’t turn around. Eventually we went to get my aunt and he went back to the fucking hotel room and locked us out. We then called the police and when the police got there he started acting completely normal and stating his rights and shit to the cops and denying everything we said. I thought he was gonna try to kill us or something if we slept in the same room as him so we stayed with my aunt. The next morning he was back to normal and acting like it never happened and told us our story about his delusion was bullshit. I just want to know what the hell this was? It must be schizophrenia or something but in all my 16 years he’s never had an episode like this.    

More info on him: he is diabetic (the kind you are born with) has sleep apnea and is 57 years old. Thank you guys for any insight you may have on this because that was really scary and I feel like he needs help.. sorry for such a long story too
