I am not the type to give up hope and think of someone as a "lost cause", but sometimes its necessary, its called for, its the right thing to do.
I'm referring to Anthony. I won't go into what he did (and it has nothing to do with Keven) but I will say it involves violence, stealing, endangering others and making a half-hearted suicide attempt. Right now he's in the hospital, he was dropped off there early this morning by his now former girlfriend, she left him and said he attempted suicide but apparently he is asking to leave because he just called and asked me for a ride.
I said one word, "no". He hung up on me. I will call the cops if he comes to my house. I do have a few more of his belongings which I will be dropping off at his grandparents this afternoon.
Its sad but my prediction is that he will either be in and out of prison the rest of his life, or, the rest of his life will be a very short period of time. He's a psychopath, a sociopath. He is not just an addict, it goes far beyond that.
I'm aware that most addicts exhibit many traits of a psychopath/sociopath and a narcissist, but he embodies every trait to the extreme. I believe he's a danger to society and you won't here much about him from here on out because I have finally and forever given up on him.
I feel bad for his brother and his grandparents and I think his 3 year old son is much better off never knowing his father.
Peace, Hope and Love, Barbara
