Having someone you love commited to a mental institution

I know there are others having this same problem so I decided to start this blog. I made the hardest decision of my life after months of going through mental abuse with my brother.He has been diagnosed as a Paranoid Schizophrenic and refused to take his medicine. It also happens to be at the time when it is the anniversary of my mothers death two years ago and her birthday. He became so violent that he kicked my older brother Irby's door in and took a knife while we were not at home and stab the door. I should tell you his name is Clemon(unusual first name I know). This has been the hardest two years of my life. But last week he became so severe that I had to go to the Probate Court and sign documents to have him committed to Hillcrest Behavioral Center in Birmingham.
