Sorry. It’s just that I have a problem guest in my home who won’t leave until tomorrow. He’s very hard for both my husband and I to deal with. I’m a bit short fused. If I’m rude, I apologize

If you both don’t like him, why let him stay?

It’s my husbands brother and he’s got no one anymore. He’s mentally disturbed. So he needs family. He lives too far away to drive home right away. But luckily, he leaves tomorrow

It’s nice of you to give him a place to stay.

Sounds like you have a handful. Are you being a caring host or are you babysitting? The latter would make me irritable too.
Your husband’s brother sounds like me. I mostly pester my sister with texts and phone calls. She lives 1020 miles away though.

He’s a guest, but he throws tantrums at the drop of a hat etc. right now, he lives with a roommate but they don’t get along. I think he belongs in a group home.

Is this the brother that wouldn’t leave last time?
He lived with you?
It’s disrespectful for anyone to have brought him back to the house again.
You were very upset during that time and I can’t believe he was allowed in the house.

Does he have a guardian or case manager you could talk to about getting him into a group home?

Yeah. That happens.
Is there anyway this could be the last time he visits? Or that he can leave early?

He didn’t live with us, but he did try to drug me twice. We’re trying to be forgiving people and give him a place for holidays, but it’s tough. Everyone know now to not accept any food from him, or anything else likes mints or muscle balms etc.
He leaves tomorrow so it’s just one more day.

He lived with his dad until his dad died. While his dad was dying, he had access to his dads info. He opened up a credit card in his dads name and charged up $18,000 on it. We didn’t tell the police because we don’t think he’d survive prison.
@Charles_Foster, my husband’s best friend lived with us for 2 years. I think that’s who you’re thinking of
That doesn’t sound good. My sister is pretty clear she doesn’t want me staying with them. Right now she doesn’t even want me to visit them like on a vacation maybe for three days to a week because of covid.

No, I just have delusions at times. I would agree with her it’s best I don’t go far from my psychiatric care. Now that I moved into a new apartment, I can’t afford a vacation until I pay back the loan I took out to move with.

Ok. I’m glad you are reasonable about it. My brother in law doesn’t have insight. He did get on disability for it, but he’s not getting treatment anymore.

Does your husband’s guest throw tantrums?
Pre-medications, I used to throw tantrums. The rage and noise and pain in my head were just so bad.
