As a bit of a carry on to the last post I thought I'd add just an update while things are quiet in the house. Perhaps putting some jumbled thoughts in writing will help.
Our eldest son seems to be getting interested in conspiracies about the system, is quoting the Bible, but not practicising it and perhaps into dope; we are actually pretty sure it's dope.
Right now, we have received a call from a person who advised that our son (OUR SON) is harassing her and her family. She is talking of taking out an AVO (apprehended violence order I think represented by the letters). Our sons world, and ours, I think, is about to take a terrible turn for worse.
When we texted him (not knowing where he was and his phone is only good for texts) and told him to stop whatever he is doing, he gave strange and defiant answers. He could well have been on drugs of some sort at this time. He said he would be home today.
I think he is going to end up in jail very soon.
I don't know what to do, my wife doesn't know what to do. I'm starting to look for crisis numbers because that's what is happening right now in our house. It's like a bad dream.
We are now pretty sure things aren't as they should be in his head. How do we get him to see someone, to recognise he has problems? Perhaps depression, split personality, bi-polar, anxiety?
My wife's a wreck, so am I. We have two younger kids. We have to look after this family.
