I had just sent child 1 off to school. The baby was settling back to sleep, as I snuggled up with her. All of a sudden my phone pierces the calm morning and my sister is panicking on the line. She orders me to leave the house at once and tells me that her gem of a husband has turned psychotic/schizophrenic and is on the loose. He's after her life, and anyone in his path might get hurt, or worse, and she asks us to leave our house immediately. We're talking life and death here.
So I wake up my husband who sleeps until 10 and he's like what is this, a movie? and goes back to bed. Meanwhile I'm racking my brain over what to do. To buy time I lock and bolt my main door and bedroom door and convince him to wake up.
All of a sudden I hear a smashing sound and a knock on our bedroom door. Obviously my brother in law has broken through door 1, which was locked and bolted. He calls out for my sister and says he has arrived for her, at which point I pick up child 2 who is 11 months old. My brother in law starts getting angry and I don't wait to hear anymore, and run to my balcony my heart pounding and hands shaking so bad. There's no way I can jump down 2 floors with an infant and I try to figure out if I can climb up. Nope. By this time I hear lots of smashing and breaking and shudder to think what's happening.
My husband joins me on the balcony and goes wtf is happening. My sister told me her husband has been hallucinating, thinking he's God, acting psychotic, schizophrenic and psychotic since last night.
We hear the noise dissipate and move to the bathroom and figure out he's taking a shower at which point I scream whisper to run and leave.
On the way out we realize he took our dining chair to batter the bedroom door and not only is the chair broken to bits, but the door is completely smashed up beyond repair. No time to think, just have to focus on escaping. This is probably how those people in the movies feel when a killer is in the lwoose.

It sounds like you had a rough day... understatement. I would definitely consider calling law enforcement, getting a protective order and perhaps considering some home protection? an alarm or a weapon? I can tell you that I have been in your sister's situation and I have a good amount of empathy for her. She is not only afraid of him, but probably feels guilty and is afraid for her relationship with you. Be safe.
