My family just about imploded over the Christmas period and the fallout is still ongoing. Basically my Dad got into a physical fight in a pub, then my siblings and in-laws intervened and later in the night they all ended up attacking each other (only verbally). I wasn't there for any of it luckily. Now, things had, I thought, settled down and everyone had chalked it down to too much alcohol but my Dad's not coping well. He has depression and has been dwelling so much on what happened, feeling like the aftermath was his fault as he initiated the event that sparked it all off. I've tried talking to him but he's become paranoid that someone is going to attack him. My mum and I did manage to get him to go to his GP and he's had his medication increased but it's not going to work immediately.
I struggle myself with anxiety and panic and am trying to keep calm in the midst of this but it's hard.
