There is a man in my building who suffers from schizophrenia but also uses methamphetamines. He is terrifying when he has episodes most often after drug use is what I have gathered. His father let me know that he buys drugs when he gets money. Also his father and all his brothers were arrested in 2014 for methamphetamine production and distribution.
I am telling all of you this for context not for judgment or to dissect or try to understand why. The advice I need is how to cope with the disturbance in our building. There are times that we are fearful to leave because he talks of killing and raping and shouts racial slurs. His father assures me he is harmless but I just don't see how he can guarantee that.
We have called the police. We have called the property manager AKA landlord. I notify his father every time. His father said he did much better in a group home and regrets getting him his own apartment. We are at our wit's end because this can go on for days at a time especially in the middle of the night. I don't know what else we can do and it is exasperating my mental illness
