I think as his daughter thinks hes a great Dad he must have some saving graces including the fact he supports his daughter. He does need help and if he is taking anything it would be good for your daughter presuming she sees him, /visits him ,if he got some help ...I think you have to be firm and tell him to seek help or he will not see his daughter ,there by taking control for her .good luck.

They can do an involuntary hold on someone they worry  is a danger to themselves or others-----  72 hour holds.  Maybe this is something to mention to his father.  A good psych eval might help and since you mention detox, if addiction is a problem, then really, I would address that.  

To protect yourself, if you are financially dependent on him, I'd begin thinking of how you can earn your own money.  You could train for a job or get a job but I would strongly encourage this.  He sounds unstable and you don't want to get caught with no means of supporting yourself and your child.  
good luck

Sounds like drugs to me, heroin, meth, or pcp abuse can cause an individual to be paranoid.  Next time he has an episode, call 911, they will take him to hospital for psych exam, usually drugs are ruled out,  so a drug screen will be done.  If that is not it, he may have a mental condition that requires medication.  I wish you the best.

I'm not sure... he's always- I believe- "pretended" to be a christian... while many times behaving in a way that didn't support Biblical principals... but yet seeming to not acklowledge his behavior in anyway    He is a pathelogical liar, maybe his double life is is haunting him in his delusions.  I feel sure demons are to blame for this type of delusional behaviors

No Im not worried about anything like that, but he is the daughter of my 7 year old child and she loves him dearly   he also supports us financially with child support and alimony etc...    before this episode he... he has been a loving father to her..  since yesterday morning he has been to emergency room and they released him after hydrating him   his father is with him and he is still suffering from extreme delusions  we are trying to get a court order for a detox unit   do u think he is in physical danger at this point?  his father has him at his house  watching him... again he is completely delusional still...

If I were you, it would mean I would screen my calls.  He's your ex for a reason, I assume.  Are you worried he is going to stalk you or come by and threaten you?
