Deep in the Dog House

I dont know if Jeremy will get out of this one. He not only has evey adult in the house angry  but it looks like everyone just hates him.

I've written about his good qualities.  His bad ones pretty much nullify them completely lately. Sadly, ALL of the things I once admired about him, all the reasons I chose him for a partner, are just gone. 

It's a bad combination of things. One, he really thinks he's better than Everyone. Seriously. He will SAY it in detail if asked. One of his big issues is that he doesn't get the respect he deserves for being better. The entitlement. Two, he has a bad temper that has been off the charts. Three, he seems to be more and more mentally challenged.  Is that still the proper was to say that??

Not long ago when he blew up at Jami over BS his face was not only suffused with Rage but he had a low brow neanderthal look that was disturbing to say the least.

I know Neanderthal just sounds mean but I dont know any nice way to describe it. But I see it a Lot lately. Lowered brow, blank eyes, jutting jaw. It makes you take a double take 

And a fairly new development is that he lies. A Lot. If confronted with something he doesn't want to admit to he will lie. 

The thing where nothing is his fault has gotten ridiculous, too. Ok, it was ridiculous when he said every car wreck wasn't his fault when they clearly were his fault. 

He broke my lamp the other day  but refuses to apologize because it was My Fault for making him angry. 

The worst thing is that he is dangerous. Once I walked in the kitchen and he had a huge butcher knife pointed at Jess, and I mean with the tip touching her stomach. He was "playing" (???!!!) but if someone had run into either of them from behind or one of them slipped she could have died. Not to mention the fear she must have felt!! And I've seen him do that twice!! Then another time recently he stabbed at the counter by her hand because she said something that pissed him off. When he is angry he hits and breaks things and I believe we are all just lucky that no one has been seriously injured during one of his tantrums. No One ever wants to ask him to "fix" anything because we know that if it doesn't go well he'll lose his temper and break whatever he is working on. 

But as bad as all of that is the WORST thing about him is that he NEVER admits he was wrong so he never feels the need to try to better himself. That sounds like an exaggeration but it really is Not. 

Why is he still with my family?????

All of us have had some kind of pity for him. He IS brain damaged. (And that is the most damaging thing he denies) Yesterday Jess said that when she looks at the world the way she believes Jeremy sees it she sees how unbearably depressing his life is and can have pity. (That says a lot about her Huge Heart especially since she is his main target to Hate!) But a lot of the pity we all have felt is diminished as we see that he actually is capable of learning, being, better. 

He controls himself with Kira and Jazz. He really liked Brandon and was a completely different person whenever Brandon was around. I used to invite them over sometimes just to give us a break from tantrums and butcher knives. (I'm sure this is also why Brandon thought I was disgusting for how I treat Jeremy.) 

Doesn't that mean Jeremy Could Act Better if he wanted to??
