Period. I would feel compelled to do that much. He obviously needs immediate medical care.

Then, make a plan to take care of him after he’s released from the hospital. He gains nothing if he is just shuffled back into the same abusive relationship that he is obviously trying to escape.

Just my 2 cents. You must do what you feel is right, of course.

I agree Rorey Apr 2020 #8

Is there a Crisis Hotline in that area? badhair77 Apr 2020 #11

See, that's why I thought of asking here Rorey Apr 2020 #13

Another option is to find out if there is a local mobile crisis team tulipsandroses Apr 2020 #9
