I care deeply about this person and we grew up together, and he used to be normal before mental problems started in his 20s. Last time I visited him he was drunk and went into a psychotic rage telling me several times he would kick the sh*t out of me and even yelled in my face he will kill me. Anyway, my other family members are not really going around him anymore and he refuses professional help. Does anyone have any experience with this type of situation? I'm thinking maybe I should not go there alone, only meet him in public etc. Not sure what to do, or how often I should be visiting him. There isnt much help for people like this that refuse treatment. Does anyone else have a family member like this?
