The Annoyed Man
Member
Jiggle, I think you're handling this with a lot of maturity. My only advice is, don't get tired of it and finally let go of dealing with it. Be tenacious until something gets done, for two reasons:
1. So Moron gets the help he needs; and
2. So Moron is no longer a threat to those around him.
If that means a police report, an arrest, a psychiatric evaluation, whatever. Whatever it takes to make Moron wake up and smell the coffee. Sometimes, people have to find themselves in water so deep that they KNOW they will drown if they don't get help. Maybe a few weeks in the pokey is that deep water. Maybe not. Whatever any of us tells you is based on what we, as only distantly involved observers on the Internet, are able to respond to from what you tell us. This is a hard place for a young man to be in, to know that a very difficult decision that must be made and cannot be avoided rests on your shoulders alone.
Be strong. And be encouraged that you seem to be a young man of integrity, who is willing to do the hard thing. Being feckless is easy. Being right is often hard. Always choose the right over the easy.
Please let us know how it all turns out.
