My ex boyfriend is a danger to society ??
He wanted to talk because something was wrong and we haven’t spoken in a while. We were on the phone, and you could tell he didn’t want to talk about what was bothering him but he eventually did. Mind you we’re both 21, and he has Aspergers.
Basically, the “voices in his head” are getting bad again. He’s Had 3 mental breakdowns within the past month, so he traded in his car and bought a truck yesterday. Apparently his job is aware of him talking to himself. Not just regular how I’m sure we all do, but full on laughing using his hands as if someone was actually there. His employees say to him “are you talking to me or your little friend” and laugh. He does not find it funny, as he’s trying to make more friends because he doesn’t really have any.
Then he says he wants to see a therapist(which I encouraged) because of the voices. “If the therapist tries to take my guns, and put me in a mental institution I’m going to hide them somewhere. I’ll hide them so when I get out I will go get them and add everyone who put me on the institution on my list. And even if they do take my guns and I get out, you know how easy the gun laws in Arizona are? I could easily buy as many as I’d like. Then go on a spree if I ever wanted. If I go in there, would you come visit me? I’d like you to or you’d be on my list, haha.” Its as if he knows he’d be going into an institute.
I called his mom earlier today to let her know what happened and she thanked me for letting her know. She told me the other day before he bought the truck, he had a mental breakdown. She was trying to calm in down and he looked her in her eyes and said “you’re lucky you’re my mom because you make me so mad at times I just want to kill you but I don’t!” She said she was terrified.. then he apologized a few hours later as if nothing happened.
His mom told me that his little sister whose 18, has nightmares and wakes up crying because her brothers trying to kill her in her dreams. When his sister told him about the nightmares she has of him he just laughed.. Everyone in the house is aware of how he is, and sleeps with their doors locked. His mom said she’s aware he owns two guns but he’ll never let her know where they are. I’m sure no mother would want their son to go to a mental institution and that’s why she’s never said anything about it to anyone. But this is pretty scary, right? He’s said some crazy things to me when we were dating as well which I automatically knew wasn’t okay and that something wasn’t right, but this was 3 years ago. I told my mom about it and she believes I should block his number, and let the cops know about him just in case.
But he wanted to talk to me about this, I don’t want to entertain him but I feel If I stop speaking to him right now that will piss him off, right ? He knows where I live. And I don’t want him harming my family and I’m scared if I get a restraining order nothing will change. He’ll just be enraged. What would you guys do ?
