I don't believe he knows anyone there. I had asked why he went there. He thinks he's safer there, he thinks our government wants him dead and thinks I'm an imposter working for the government. I have no control over his assets here. I fear he will lose everything. I don't even know where in the Philippines he is. This is a nightmare 😫 thank you for responding

@missmyboy Yes, it is an unthinkable nightmare. Continue to reach out to him. Perhaps you will find where he is and contact the right authorities. You don't mention his age or how long he has been sick...if he had any treatment in the US. If he had a former mental health treatment team, is there anything they can do? At this point, if you didn't know before, he is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and needs medication for stabilization. Perhaps "something" will happen in the Philippines and he will be brought to the attention of police or mental health and he will be admitted to an impatient psychiatric facility there. In the meantime, please take care of your health. And try to think - all of this, right now, is out of your control completely. And if a mother of faith - give this burden to God/Higher Power.
I will pray for you.
