In my brother in law’s situation, he has a head full of bad wiring, and always has. Now, unfortunately, his son is following in Dear Old Dad’s footsteps, has already taken up the mantle of Black Sheep of the family and is surpassing his dad by far. I am certain he won’t live nearly as long as his father. He’s traveling much faster on his path to self destruction than his father has.
Booze, drugs, and a head full of bad wiring are not a good combination….
“””” a head full of bad wiring””””
I’ll adopt that description, it is why it is so hard to reach them, their minds are full of choppy bits and pieces that make too fast of a churning mess to ever penetrate and reach.
