hi everyone my middle son who many of you know so well told me something today on his visit. he said that he had been hearing voices who were telling him to do things to the people at his supported living. in the same breath he said that he wouldnt do anything because he wanted a gun licence. he is perhaps the most disturbed person that i have ever known.

@Bunniekins many safe hugs of support. You are in such a hard situation with the conflicting needs of your family, and your lovely big heart wanting to meet them all. 🥰
I wish there were easy "solutions" for you, that it could be "solved". ☹️
I didn't get to read the more recent posts (needed sleep before work, which i will soon be leaving to) - has your son's recent voices that were suggesting violent actions quietened for him at all?
I imagine it would be very difficult having those voices for him, and also for yourself and family knowing that he experiences those voices and never knowing what might happen.
I thought your compassion for him as both abuser and victim was very admirable and loving. Even if it doesnt make it any easier to live with or remove the harm done to the family. But it shows part of your great character of who you are as a person.
Many best bunny wishes for you today. 🐇🐰

@AlwaysMyself what beautiful words and a big thank you from me xxx my son is very loveable, funny and kind and yes "solutions" having some magic pill that would get rid of his problems would make him a much happier person. yes in the bad old days when he was completely out of control we all felt scared in our own house unfortunately it has caused us all to have ptsd (funnily not his father who experienced the most violence prob due to his dementia he just simply forgets or as my mother would say he is away with the pixies). thank you it is hard because you are right he is the abuser and the victim. i am having him stay with us at christmas and i am looking forward to it but am also nervous it is a hard one to come to terms with. xxx
