How do you take care of someone who won’t take their medicine?
Also the legal climate has changed.
If you so much as grab someone nowadays that you share a household with, even to keep them from hurting themselves, that is Domestic Violence and if the Police are called they take YOU away.
There have been cases (at least one that I know of, and more such incidents that I have read about online) that even such a thing as a husband trying to take the car keys away from his wife who has been drinking and calling 911 so that the cops would help him get her under control got him arrested for Domestic Violence.
What was he supposed to do? Answers he got afterwards was to ask her for the car keys before she started drinking, or call 911 but don’t touch her.
Don’t believe me? Ask a therapist, a cop, or an attorney.
I had a drunk female try to enter the house I was living in. I had to physically restrain her from coming in. She called the police and claimed I assulted her. The police knocked on the door around 11 at night and gave me the business. They were close to taking me downtown.
