I'm with Dotsie, here, Marie. Thank God you got him into a hospital before something more dangerous happened. You made the right choice, your family comes first.

While he's in the hospital, he'll have a case worker. Hopefully that person can help your BIL find accommodations after he's well enough to leave the hospital and outpatient therapy that he can attend on a regular basis. Or, he may not ever be well enough. If he won't stay on his meds, he could be a danger to himself and to society.

Take care of yourself and remember we're thinking of you.
