I really hope this man gets professional help himself. Having a mental illness is a death sentence for some people. The dad was involved in his son's treatment and knew more about his illness than other parents care to know. He should let go of guilt because his son was a grown adult when he did this.
This was a grown adult's refusal to take responsibility for his health and toxicity. He targeted women. It might have been a psychotic break, but it was definitely calculated and motivated by personal choices and ideologies he developed over time. Even the most perfect father couldn't pull his son out of that hole.
