The brain is a strange and powerful thing. You can experience hallucinations with major depression when no drugs are involed at all. I have woken numerous times believing I was choking on broken glass. I learned I was having panic attacks in my sleep. I still have them, but now that I know what is going on, I just breathe through it and go back to sleep. At one time, I thought something was rotting inside of me and it was going to kill me. I truly believed in it. That's when I learned that my brain could turn on me. Dression psychosis can do this.
My son has done similar things to me that you described in your son. There are things that he swears up and down are real, but they aren't. They are real to him though. He was never like this before he used meth. He used pretty heavily over about a year and I have to imagine it's made swiss cheese out of his brain. This is something I don't think can be fixed. Maybe time will help, but I don't know. In the meantime, I try to avoid him on his bad days and try to enjoy him on his good days.
I don't know enough about your son or his situation to know if he is actually trying to hurt you or if he is having psychosis. Is he normally a vengeful person? Does he suffer from major depression? Could he possibly be having a psychotic event either from depression or drug use?
