I Want To Kill...

[shimmerz]

You're implying a kind of street to prison pipeline that simply isn't there

No, I respectfully say I am actually asking @otakujome to do some self reflecting. Only he has a sense of where he feels this might end him up. We can only guess. I said nothing about prison, although your assumption is true. Killing most likely will have one live a life in prison.

I wonder if @otakujome could (or would) re-title this posting so that it could reflect a less emotionally charged word? I am not sure if he is able to right now, but even just thinking about a little less violent word.....that shows great grounding of emotions and incredible maturity.

could (or would)

Well, if you look at his profile picture @shimmerz you'll see, that he's still temp banned. But as Digger already wrote, and everyone can see / read, he's reading every comment of this thread in real-time.

Ah, of course. Ty @TreeHugger . I was on his profile but didn't notice. I actually meant by could (would) whether he was emotionally able to let it de-escalate.

" I will not give him excuses nor nod my head for fear that he will not come back for advice when he spins out of control. He is setting a damaging life pattern for himself and I won't be included in that."

So agree with this. And all of what @shimmeriz wrote in that post. And what gets me is when someone gives an honest caring opinion there are those on here who accuse them as being unsympathetic or scaring away the poster. Seems to be a regular pattern and the thread becomes about how you shouldn't be so unsympathetic or how your approach to advising and people turn to attacking and defending their approach. Off topic. Agree totally with rest of post.

@otakujome, could you "like" this post if you were just venting and have no intention to act on the feelings you expressed? That would clear up that much for us. If that is the truth, as we all hope it is, later when you are back we can help you find ways to express yourself better, get the substance use under control, etc. But you could clear up that much.

I hope it's okay to ask him that.

Whew. Okay, that's good news. There are some other things of concern that we can deal with later. Thanks for letting us know.
