retiring this thread and account, thanks for the concern, I will correspond more with family and others who are more knowledgeable of the situation
I will post the obligatory :meow-hug: :Care-Comrade: :soviet-heart: :meow-popcorn: :sickomogus: :af-heart: things so that it can be easier to engage with constructive thoughts rather than worry about outpouring support. I have good relations with many family members IRL to feel supported in that respect. Much love.
Somewhat charismatic, has some kind of sense of humor. Really good at masking his worst qualities around people he wants affirmation from. Part of how I think he represents the ENTIRE Cluster B. Having these issues individually shouldn't be much of a problem in a functioning society, I wish people were informed about these kinds of pitfalls, but education is what it is in America and it's often hard to get an accurate vibe from dangerous people. It's not the worst thing about him, it just complicates any chance of him getting better since there's a pile of things to work on and it would be easier to ignore it all than address any bit of it.
edit: I should mention that the person who he had a child with is of a similar character, and it was someone who I even regret knowing the name of, so if you want those kinds of people in your life....
The current house would be an almost perfect option if it weren't for my brother. It's hard to pass up, and it's tempting to just get child protective services over something spurious like bullets lying on a shelf and a gun under the bed so he can finally be out of the picture.
