These situations occurred not too long after another.

And we knew it was time to go back to... Barnabas is the mental health facility that he would go back and forth to.

Yeah.

We talk about that and we don't know why at all.

This wasn't anything that...

he was prior to his illness.

It does.

It's definitely on a spectrum.

But so after that situation, I had to be the one to call Barnabas and have him go back.

and that looks like the police coming and also the social worker coming to to take him really and since your mom has power of attorney that's why you guys are able to make that choice for him basically right is that how it works so we don't at this point we didn't have power of attorney yet but no

you can call like if if you are in a mental health crisis you can call we called a hotline at first and then they directed us to barnabas and if it's a situation like ours

to where he's also been back and forth to Barnabas, they will come and put him in 72-hour hold.

So he didn't need power of attorney for that.

And I hope I'm explaining it exactly correct.

The cops would come and evaluate Brian with the social worker to determine if he needed to go to a mental health facility.

So, yeah, and then me having to make that call was extremely difficult.

so hard and heartbreaking because i would see him i would see him being taken and him asking why why do i have to go it's like one of the worst things you can ever imagine having to do to your family member so anyone who's been through that i completely understand also so while in the 72 hour hold it's hard to get long-term care because he would have to sign off for it and

he would have to be the one to say that he's wanting to have that care.

But he wasn't at the point that he wanted to make that decision.

He wanted to get out of there as fast as he could.
