Put bluntly, yes! He's due another stretch in the nick, found guilty on the 19th. Since then he's threatened violence, to his own mother, a taxi driver who was accompanying her & two complete strangers, further more he's threatened, demanded & whined for money which his mother gave him (because of fear)


not to be 'in ya face' and I am talking from "actual experience"

I'm sure you are Rob, you've admitted to your demons in the past & how you've managed to conquer them, my respect to you for that. Your case can be held up as a shining example of determination & rehabilitation, a model to hold in esteem, but, not everyone has the will or more importantly the desire to kick their habit & better their lives & that of those involved with them.

My "Personal experience" is most certainly not on the level of yours Rob as I've not had the misfortune to be addicted to any substance or item, but, when your Brother in Law (and the reason I've taken leave to be here in Bayern now) is the sorry individual whom you're experiences & views are based on, I think I come in a close second for awareness of the problems.
