I need some help/advice on sectioning...
My Mum is at her wits end with Dad - he's threatening her with violence, refusing to go to a class that she's arranged for him at the local British Legion home...
She's now been advised by two separate groups of people - the Legion & the family's financial advisor that Dad needs to be sectioned so that he can't refuse to do what he's asked to do...
I'm (we're) very confused about this - why does sectioning him mean that he will do anything that he's not doing at the moment? Does this mean Mum can tell the British Legion people that he needs to go to his morning class and they can strap him in despite his protestations?
I'm really confused about this - what do we do? Help
