SaraChristine -> My dad overdosed on his medicine today... (5/8/2008 10:06:46 PM)

So, I was studying for my English final today and I ended up falling asleep. Well all of a sudden I hear this big crash coming from outside or possibly from the basement, but we have outside cats so I figured one of them just knocked something over. About 15 minutes my dad starts pounding on my door, and then bursts into the room babbling about there being big rats in the basement and he has to kill them, he has to shoot them....I looked at him, and his face was sooo red, he was sweating, and he like. . .couldn't stand up by himself he had to lean against the doorframe. I was so shocked at what he was saying I didn't do anything at first. When he left I sat there a minute and then called my mom and ran outside after him.
all I could see was him walking around back [to the entrance to the basement] with a huge gun... so I quickly tell my mom and she leaves work early. I ran and got the keys to all of the vehicles so he couldn't leave... and then went downstairs to have him talk to my mom..... when i went in the basement all i could see was him shivering on a bench curled up and holding his gun. his speech was slurred and he just kept telling me to leave, there were big animals, big rats, i had to leave..... so I ran to the upstairs apartment [we rent out the upstairs, my boyfriend and one of his friends live up there, my boyfriend is away at work, so it was just his roommate landon] and started bawling my eyes out to landon and so he went downstairs to check on everything, but he said my dad was talking pretty much normal to my mom in his room by the time he got down there..... so I stayed upstairs until my mom got home talking to my b/f on the phone....
My mom won't tell me what happened. Honestly, I'm just assuming he overdosed. He's been getting a really hard time at work from his boss who is a real jerk, and from the other guys at the fire department because his back is giving out. He has to take heavy pain killers, for that. And he takes medication because he has an anger/depression problem. He used to be an alcoholic but a few years ago he stopped drinking... .... ...ugh i just don't know. my mom just makes it worse because now she's just pretending like nothing happened and won't talkk to me about it. i can't get the image out of my head, and i can't stop crying.
my sister wanted me to go and stay at her house, but her and her husband have been having problems -[early years of marriage] and i don't want to be a burden... but now i'm wishing i had gone over there instead..... =[ =[ idk what to do. i can't even look at my dad. and i can't stop picturing him in the basement. i wanted to call the police and have him taken to the hospital,but my mom won't even hear it... and i didn't think about doing that until like.. a half an hour ago to be honest.... =[=[=[=[=[
