[QUOTE="DDD, post: 317935, member: 35"] Suz, the Doctors say that with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)'s delusions are not uncommon. They can not be controlled by medication BUT they can be triggered by alcohol. His can and do occur when he is sober...especially if he is tired. Just last night he "remembered" some people coming to his window and waking him up. He "didn't know them well" so he told them they had to leave "but one girl fell assleep on his bed". He shared this story this morning when he discovered he had a girl he didn't know in his bed. :frowny: The "girl" is the one he has been friends with for two years. I sent him back to his room and told him "look at the girls face...you told me that X was staying over last night when you came home". Yep it was X. You guys are exactly right when you say that he has to understand that drinking is harmful. He "knows" that BUT when he is with friends his short term memory loss results in him often thinking he has not had anything to drink or "one" drink when, in fact, he just doesn't remember the others. With the damage to the impulse control portion of the brain and the memory issues...it's trouble waiting to happen. Calling the police, arming yourself and feeling fearful all make sense. The threat?? Nope, I don't get that. Three days after the event I would expect that the emotions had calmed down enough for the neighbor to say "I hope your son understands how dangerous that was and never lets it happen again". Even in the ghetto one is not allowed to shoot a shotgun at someone knocking on their door or ringing the doorbell. It "could" have been a neighbor seeking help for a medical emergency and running to the closest house. DDD [/QUOTE]
