They know the situation and I think they feel the same—his behavior freaks them out. I agree…I don’t want him around my kids at all.

There's a big picture window next to my desk and whenever I see someone out of my peripheral vision walking past, I have to look and see if it's him. Thanks for sharing your story. I appreciate it.

I lost touch with him when he went "underground" and have only heard about him once in five years. I look for him in crowds and in some of the old places. FWIW, the last thing I heard was that he was back on his meds but ashamed so he was staying away from those who knew him. I hope Josh is ok. Very sorry about this.

I hope that you find him, but I have to be honest and say that this is someone who shouldn't be around your kids at all. If he's paranoid and psychotic, you don't know what he could do and people could get hurt. He's not your friend Josh anymore, he's a person in the grip of an addiction and unfortunately, he is the only one who can choose to save himself. I've lost friends this way. I am a person who can't take the drama and danger of drug addicts in my life. You try the best you can to get them help, but if they won't take it, you can't go down with them. Peace to you, and I hope Josh finds his way back to good. I’m so sorry about your friend.
