I am getting very concerned about a friend of my brother. I have always found him to be a creepy person, but only lately have I realised that he has quite serious mental and social problems. Manuel and the rest of our family decided that he was not welcome here anymore after a rather violent and angry episode. He terrorised my mum, brother and

I have no idea what info. to give you darlin', as I am half the world away... I would just suggest attempting to see if you can find anything online or in your phonebook? I know we here in LA have hotlines like that that are listed in the phonebooks... i'm sorry sweetie. ♥

I'll have to do a couple of searches but sometimes people just know of nifty places that aren't too well known. We'll see.

Poor Guy! How Sad! He Should Definitely Speak With A Professional Counselor Though.......

I don't know what you'd do, I've never known anyone in that situation, all I could suggest is that he does see some kind of counsellor.

[sphinxy_frolics]

The thing is, I don't think he would see a counsellor. I really think he has lost touch with reality. It's not like someone who doesn't want to see someone and they'll kind of be OK. Simon is so unpredictable that sometimes I think he could be a danger to himself or others. Someone needs to go to him. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in a psychiatric ward.

*cuddles you* We used to have someone like that come around to our place when I was younger, only he wasn't as bad. He had problems, not helped by the fact he was on drugs, and also that my brother used to tease him and try to pretend he wasn't home. I really did feel sorry for him :o(

I think if he won't go and see someone, perhaps you should. Mainly because they can offer you some advice if you explain the situation and stuff he's done. They'll tell you things you can do to protect your family, and how to deal with him.

And at least this way his behaviour will be noted by someone else incase something does happen, you know?

*huggles* I hope you figure something out. I can see why you feel sorry for him, but if he's a potential threat to the safety of your family then I'd be distancing myself too...

Yes, that's exactly it. I have no idea how to approach this situation because I don't want to aggravate it further. But something needs to be done and it needs someone professionally qualified to do it.

Thankies sweety. *basks in cuddles*

Cuddles are the best ;o)

But something needs to be done and it needs someone professionally qualified to do it.

Exactly, and hopefully a professional can equip you with the kinds of things you'll need to help you and your family deal with this situation, especially since this guy won't actually go and seek help himself.

I really hope everything works out. I don't want anything happening to you or your family because of this guy who seems like a very confused, misunderstood and disturbed person.

*cuddles you some more* ;o) <3
