Got the kids in bed and put the dog on the chain Went out through the garage to let the dog back in and notice he is raising hell. Open the door and my neighbors son (46 and doesn't live with them) is standing there crying. I'm like wtf is wrong and he says he's worried about his parents that they should've been home already. I think for a minute and remember it's Wed. and they go to mass on Wed. and I've noticed sometimes they don't get home until 10pm or so. Tell him that and he calms down a little. I get to noticing though that something isn't right with him. I've met him a handful of times and he's a pretty nice guy as far as I can tell. He's got the twitches and is kinda talking in circles and I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with him.
Then out of nowhere he asks " You aren't scared of me are you?" and I'm tell him I'm not scared of anyone and he says "good". Then he says " Did you know I have bi-polar disorder?" and I tell him I did know that. We talk for a bit and he's talking crazy and is just out of his mind. I ask him if he's taking his medicine and he says yeah then tells me he stopped by a friends house and drank a few jack and cokes with him. Now I'm up to speed...he's mixed alcohol with is medicine. This guy was completely crazy for the most part. He was seeing things move in my garage and hearing things bump against the door and what not. He hit a deer on a motorcycle a few years ago and never really recovered from it. He's grossly overweight and limps real bad. I was never fearful of him as I would just roll his big ass over and that would be the end of it but at the same time I wasn't letting him in my house with the kids in there asleep.
My dog was really wanting a piece of him and he wanted me to let the dog in so he could pet him and I was trying to explain to him that deuce would have a major case of the ass with him if I were to let him in the garage. He went back over to his parents house to check if they were home yet and they were. I watched him go in then got worried about them and got my cell to call their other son that's local and I saw him come back outside and start coming back over to the house so I let the dog in the house and waited in the garage for him. He was here ~ 3 hours and just talking crazy most of the time. I'm now debating whether to go tell his brother about it tomorrow. Part of me wants to stay the hell out of it because the last thing I need is him parking in my driveway with a rifle but the other part of me worries about his mom and dad. They're a sweet old couple in there mid 70's and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't say something to his brother and he ended up hurting them. Him and is brother hate each other because his brother don't trust him and won't let his daughter see him. Weird deal. I imagine I'll go have that talk with him tomorrow but I sure wish I could just stay out of it.
