[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 317669, member: 84"] DDD I think neighbor is over compensating for having the utter beegeebies scared out of him. And it's possible he had no clue [B][I]who[/I][/B] was trying to get inside until the cops showed up. Then he was probably embarrassed on top of having been scared to death.........and now trying to be big macho guy and justifying his over-reaction to someone he knew. Although if he didn't know it was difficult child trying to get in......he had every reason to have his shot gun out and ready. Males react in these sorts of situations. They don't think. They do. Now I'd have said that I was so sorry difficult child had waken them in the middle of the night and scared the hades out of them........that I understood him being scared enough to get out his shotgun thinking he might need to defend the family. (and really if you think about it you can see his side) And then explain the surgery again........and the lingering affects it has on difficult child, and maybe ask him if he'd be willing to help keep an eye out for time when difficult child may be confused....not violent....confused, to make sure he gets home safely. My husband would've done the same thing being woken from a sound sleep to the sounds of intruders. Actually he did......with a baseball bat instead of a gun (can't have guns in the house with Travis)......only thing that saved the neighborhood kid a severe, possibly deadly beating was that Molly the dog scared the pee outta him and he took off before husband could get to him. Like I said, men react in those circumstance, no thinking involved in the process. Sort of automatic. Our neighbor kid was intented to steal anything he could get his hands on......but if husband had known it was just that kid he'd have only grabbed him.....not been ready to beat him to death. Anyway you could use this with grandson to run the fact home that for a person with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) (and surgery counts as such) with confusion issues/memory issues that it is basically taking his life into his own hands to go out of the house to drink on top of it? The thought of Travis ever being drunk scares me on so many different levels for various reasons it's not funny.....this is one of them......I could see him wandering off and majorly getting himself lost. As for you, you're having the typical Momma Bear reaction because you know grandson wouldn't hurt anyone and was just honestly confused. This reaction was enhanced by attempting to quit smoking. Neighbor better watch out, that may be grounds for justifiable homicide in some places. LOL :winking: ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
