Asked us if we’d help him calm down so he wasn’t violent at home.
We talked him down and by the end of the hour we had him laughing about shows on tv.
I am concerned for his girlfriend though. And him. At least he wasn’t violent tonight, and he reached out for help.
He is a former foster kid and told us he has no family to reach out to.
He’s having trouble finding a decent job even though he has a bachelor’s degree. He currently bathes dogs at a groomers. And his girlfriend is sticking it to him for it.
He says it’s very emasculating and it makes him feel like getting violent.
Thanks @Montezuma . I’m sensitive to issues surrounding abuse based on my own experiences. So it was eye opening to hear it from a potentially violent person’s perspective. He’s not all bad. He’s hurting. He needs help.
From what it sounds it seems like your doing good honestly a lot of people wouldn’t do that for someone else especially those who are drunk a lot of people look down and wouldn’t piss on a fire to do someone who’s drunk a favour
I know people didn’t help me growing up but I’ve always just thought it was because people saw me as worthless, not that people don’t want to help anyone
I know you made another post saying negative stuff about yourself you proved yourself wrong because In this day and age that’s saint like to do I just thought I’d point out your awesome
It was kind of you to give this man guidance. That said, I am wondering if you should also have a follow up with him, to let him know that any relationship where he is feeling violent urges towards his partner because of how she treats him is one where things are not healthy. This is the point where the best thing for both of them is to either get help, or break up.
