The Wrath of Kahn

H went into a rage tonight.  All I could think of was the old Star Trek movie The Wrath of Kahn since it was so bizzare, it was from another galaxy.  What set him off?  We have income property that is losing us $$$.  A tenant called saying there was a leak in her apartment.  I am evicting (in court last week) 2 tenants in the building for non payment of rent including the one above her when has been flooding the unit under her every couple of days even after I spent hundreds of dollars on plumbers last month.

H overheard the call and started to rage and rage screaming and yelling and of course blaming me.   I would not bite and he got angrier and louder with the tenant still on the phone.  I told him every thing was under control and that the water had stopped.  I was trying to keep my cool and calm him down at the same time.

He got nastier and said all kinds of nasty things.  He was screaming at the top of his lungs  that  I was mismanaging everything.  I walked out of the room.  He has been in bed mind you since eating supper at 5.  He has eaten tons of carbs today.  He does get out of bed to go to the kitchen to stuff himself with cheese and cracker, sting cheese, and who knows what else.  I do not even try to stop him anymore, since if I try to say something he flies into a rage.  I have noticed that he says the same thing over and over when he rages.  Anything can set him off.  The words are cutting and mean but then he has no memory of what was said or what it was about.  It is always verbal abuse never any threat of physical abuse- that is where I would be gone and he knows it. 

It was my misfortune to be in the the bedroom putting away clean laundry when the phone rang.  Note to self: avoid taking phone calls from now on in his presence. 

I wonder if our new neighbors in this senior complex can hear him. (Another reason I wish I had my house back, lack of space and privacy)  I told him that and he still screams unable to stop or not wanting to stop.  Tiny things become major issues to him and his fears seem to take over and control his entire being.

Another Saturday night for me watching tv and dealing with his craziness.  I'd take off and go to the movies but it is too late and he needed his second shot of insulin.  The inmate is truly running this asylum tonight.
