My Dad Said He Was Stalked. We Laughed Until He Disappeared

hi guys my name is Daniel here's what I want to talk about my dad went missing for almost a year and I feel guilty about it I'll start from the very beginning my dad was the most positive person on earth for as long as I can remember he was always glowing with happiness but everything changed after one incident about a year ago he didn't come home from work one night dad first my mom and I thought that everything was okay but he still hadn't shown up at nine o'clock that evening that's when we began to call her friends and his colleagues no one knew where dad could be then mom found dad's boss's phone number and we called him he surprised us a lot when he said that that day my dad didn't show up at work and he didn't answer his phone calls it was then that we really began to worry what's happening where was he all day we called the police and two officers came to us and started asking us questions about my father soon afterward they found him he was in the hospital so my mother and I rushed there when we got to the hospital and finally saw him he was asleep he was covered in scratches and bruises there were pieces of glass in his clothes and his shirt sleeve was almost torn off the doctor said that he had a concussion and could have some sort of short-term memory loss but everything else was fine officers said that they found him outside the city looks like he was driving at a high speed lost control and his car ended up in a ditch he was very lucky that he survived this accident we spent the whole night in the hospital and when Dad woke up we asked him what happened and his answer shocked us he said that he flew off the road because he was hit by another car it was a serious allegation so the police started an investigation they came to her house a few times and asked a lot of questions about a month later they sent us a letter with their experts conclusion according to this letter the car didn't have any traces of paint from another vehicle to put it simply no one had rammed my father's car dad was angry he complained about the police in action and insisted that he was telling the truth but my mom was upset she believed the police and thought that my dad was lying and hiding something besides where was he all day why didn't he go to work to these questions he replied that he just didn't remember so my parents sometimes fought about it and I didn't know who was right but I knew that dad was acting weird he always covered the windows with curtains his phone was often turned off it seemed like he was afraid of something but he wouldn't say what in general the atmosphere in the house was strange but then something happened that really scared me I was home after school doing my homework when I heard the front door slam loudly I went down and saw my father he looked scared he had huge eyes and could barely breathe when he caught his breath he finally said I saw her again that car then he ran up to the table and began to write something on a piece of paper he tried to remember the car's license plate number but he couldn't dad was really worked up he nervously walked around the house saying that mom will finally believe him now but she didn't after all there was no evidence so they just bickered again and I can understand mom her husband is acting strange obviously hiding something of course she didn't believe his words since then dad has spent a lot of time on the computer he was googling something printing some articles in the garage he hung up a board where he attached various photos and documents he even installed security cameras around the house apparently he was determined to prove to me and my mom that he was right it looked more like paranoia but this is my dad he always goes all out and so we lived like this for two months in the evenings dad sat in the garage and watched the video from the cameras I kept hoping dad would admit that he was wrong or finally tell us why he didn't go to work that day but once at dinner or rather when I was having dinner with my mom and dad was sitting in the garage we heard him shouting bingo I found it oh-ho he came into the kitchen with a piece of paper in his hand he said that the car that hit him got caught on camera and now he has her license plate number a couple of calls to his friends at the police station and the case will be solved but it only provoked another fight and this time my father was just on edge I tried to see that he was wrong there's so much confusion why was that car driving by our house how did he know it was the right car what friends at the police station but he shouted once he finds out mom and I are going to apologize and laughed yeah we heard the car start and he just left my mother was very upset she said that dad's stubbornness and lies we're ruining their relationship and she was sick of it but I was more worried about my dad it's late where did he go I had this feeling that something bad was going to happen and I was right he didn't return that night I told my mom to call the police in case he had an accident again but my mother was so mad at my dad that she wouldn't listen he was still gone in the morning so I called the police myself for several weeks we talked every day with the officers looking for him in our city and in the neighboring towns and we got no results my father was eventually reported missing I can't tell you how I felt then the loved one who filled my life with laughter and positivity just disappeared I lost my hope and thought he was dead I grieved deeply for him almost a year later we got a call mom picked up the phone and then her face changed immediately our father was found in another state in a hospital we immediately went to him I could barely recognize my dad he looked almost like a homeless man dirty hair and beard shabby clothes as it turned out he had a mental disorder that was progressing it wasn't related to the accident but because of this coincidence he became paranoid and the disease developed dad remembered us and he knew where his house was but he was sure he had to find the people who pushed him off the road a year ago now I feel guilty that my father left that night he just needed help or at least to be heard after all everything indicated that he was not healthy mentally but mom and I just didn't listen to him and we thought he was lying yes we're both to blame my dad was hurt because of our carelessness now we have a long process of treatment and everything should be fine but none of this would have happened if we had just been more attentive to our loved one thanks for watching till the end guys tell me what you think in the comments oh don't forget to share this video with your friends and always be more attentive to your loved ones
