I mentioned a while back that R. was back on meth again. I love my daughter with all of my heart, but I had come to the point that I had to let her go.
Completely.
Be prepared for the phonecall from the Police or the Hospital. It hurt like Hell, but I did it. Not that you can ever be prepared for those phone calls.
She got her head straight, and got clean (or so she claims). I have had a couple of conversations with her recently, and she seemed all right.
Last night I got a call, and she is all in tears and practically incoherent. She had this boyfriend. He was hit and dragged by a Metro bus a couple of years ago, and his settlement with the Transportation Department was several million dollars.
He is also a junkie.
They had a big fight a couple of weeks ago, and started not coming home at night.
Last night he showed up with a couple of his "homies" to get his stuff. They of course got into a big shouting match, and she got choked into unconsciousness.
One of the neighbors called the police, but he was gone by the time they got there.
While the Police were there, he called her on the phone and told her he was going to kill her, kill me and Mrs A. and everyone in the house. She told me not to answer the door for anyone I didn't know, and she was scared half to death. She said that the police checked and he has outstanding warrants, and so do the two guys that were with him.
Doesn't really worry me particularly.
First of all, I can take care of myself. I have no compuntion to "fight fair" and the quicker you can take them out, the better off you will be.
Second of all, most of these punks run on hot air and intimidation. If they were going to kill anyone, they would have started with R. when they had her. The threat to kill the whole lot of us is just a lot of hot air.
Mind you, I did put a baseball bat under the seat of my car just in case.

Look on the bright side, his threats are on the record now so if you ever bump into him you can thin the gene pool and have a good reason to call it "self defense." ;-)
That's what I figured. He is on record as having threatened my life and the lives of my fafmily.
Who knows, he might fall down a flight of stairs.
A couple of dozen times.
You're right, with junkies and crackheads it's all drama all the time. They rarely go looking for it, it's handed to them on a silver platter.
Or with a silver neeedle, as the case may be.
I think that the threats were mostly meant to scare your daughter. Still, you are wise to take a small measure of precaution. Was it hard to get to the point of letting her go? There is someone in my life that I am unsure of. Do I hope for reform or just let him go? I think the lies are the hardest part of all. "Oh I am a changed person" and "I have learned my lesson" such a mess.
Although I have a hard time admitting it, I cried when I let her go., but it was necessary for my mental health.
