I completely agree with YG.

I'll add (from personal experience) that people with extremely stressful jobs are frequently admitted to psychiatric hospitals for observation. They don't think you're insane, and they're not gonna lock you up in a padded cell for ten years. It shouldn't be something you worry about. He'll be home soon.


And when he comes home, live life as you normally do. Play board games, make dinner together, whatever it is you normally do, do that.

Go knock them out at your dance competition! I'm sure that's what your dad would want you to do.

Being a cop is a stressful job. Cops and other emergency workers see things everyday that people really shouldn't ever have to see in their lifetimes. For some people it sometimes gets to be just to much and they need a break. He needs a break. He will get better, he just needs some help with whatever it is.

So try not to worry. I know you will some, that's natural, just know he is being helped. Emergency workers really have it good as far as help is concerned. If they see a really horrible car accident or anything like that, they have doctors
and others who bring them in to talk about it.
If they need help they get it. It isn't allowed to drag on out of control. So he is being very well taken care of, okay?

More than likely he has Post traumatic stress Disorder. You can look here if you want more info.
