[QUOTE="donna723, post: 516912, member: 1883"] I agree, Janet. If it's at all possible, just tune him out, don't even respond to the crazy stuff he says, don't let him bait you in to discussing those things with you. He's pushing your buttons, just trying to draw you in to it, because every time you get in to it with him it's, one more opportunity for him to try to make Tony side with him over you. If you have some earphones, put them on, even if you're not listening to music ... just pretend you don't hear anything he says and completely ignore him. One thing I've learned is that it does absolutely no good to try to talk with people like that or to try to reason with them! My ex was (is?) just like that! He did drugs in his younger days and has been a serious heavy-duty alcoholic since he was a teenager ... although he was an accomplished BS artist and covered it up well. And you just can't indulge in serious substance abuse for that long without killing off a heck of a lot of brain cells! And once they're gone, they're GONE! I'd talk to him, he wouldn't remember it. He'd say things or do things, then just totally deny it ever happened, or fly into wild rages. He'd come out with all kinds of crazy off-the-wall stuff. Try talking to him for a while and before long, you wouldn't know which way was up! Just crazy-making stuff! Thank God and Greyhound he's GONE, but from what I hear he's seriously in to drugs now too so whatever brain cells he had left are probably gone now too! It might actually end up being a [I]good[/I] thing if Buck goes off his medications! If he's next to worthless at work now and then his behavior becomes even more bizarre off the medications, seems like it will almost force Tony's hand where he will have to do something about him. Surely Tony won't allow Buck to put his job in jeopardy, risk his livelihood for his brother! [/QUOTE]
