OMG LBL, This is straight out of one of those scary meth commercials! I am so sorry you had to endure this.
If I had gone I would have caved and let him in the house. This is not the behavior of a well person.
It is so NOT the behavior of a well person. Your recognition that you would have caved and let him in speaks volumes as well. LBL. That is unacceptable. If it were a complete stranger, you would not have hesitated to call 911. That is what our d cs become in the irrationality of drug use, complete strangers, and capable of inflicting harm. Please, please think about this and make sure your house is secure. We had to change our locks and close our windows and lock them. My two knew our work schedule and would break in when we were gone. There are countless posts here about these behaviors. Somehow, these d cs feel entitled to everything we have and are enraged that they are put out. Instead of looking at themselves, they blame us for it all and act out in the most insane ways. Please protect yourselves!
My heart is shattered into bits, my chest is pounding. I am here writing and reaching to prevent me from caving in.
Little, I am glad you did not cave, that would only affirm in his mind that this behavior
works to get him what he wants and the next time, would be worse. I am hoping for your sake, that he does not try this again, but unfortunately this is an unpredictable time for you and him and if he follows the patterns of others as he becomes more desperate, so will his actions. I cannot emphasize too much how important it is for you to protect your home and your heart. We become irrational as well. Desensitized to the offenses perpetrated upon us. This is horrible, horrible behavior. Can you imagine doing this to your parents? No way LBL. Caving and letting a crazed, tantrum, rock throwing drug user in your house? NO WAY! That is moth to the flame LBL, NO WAY!
Didn’t get a lot of sleep. He stopped around 5 am. We will need to get stronger and call the police.
Yes, stronger and call the police. Another chink in your armor. His behavior is completely outrageous and unacceptable. How dare he! Till 5 am? He thought that this would melt you? What next?
You can do this LBL, you are stronger than you think. Looking back at my twos history, I am flabbergasted at what we endured and put up with in the hopes of "helping" them. It only emboldened them to
trod upon our hearts, minds and belongings all the more. By having them live at home, we were literally funding their drug use, they had nary a care for our bleeding hearts.
Still don't.
There is an undeniable sickness that happened there.
Not only to them, to us.
They had every excuse in the book and we fell for it, hook line and sinker.
Love for them blinded us to what was going on.
Take off your blinders LBL and get tough.
Call the police if he dares to unleash this tirade on the sanctity of your heart, health and home.
Realize that he is capable under the influence of drugs, to do much, much more.
Put your foot down and put a stop to it.
