[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did he have to wake up?  Why was it important to have everyone watching the gift exchange?  It wasn't important to him, clearly bespectacled his boundaries, for goodness sake. [/quote]

OP here. You are right. I should not have woken him up for the gifts. My kids woke up at 7. We were waiting for my brother to start opening gifts. When he is on his good times, he doesn't mind waking up with the rest of the family. I will let him be next year.[/quote]

WHAT??? OP, go re-read your first post. This was more than just being upset about opening gifts on Christmas morning. He was upset throughout the visit and FRIGHTENED YOUR CHILDREN! Your response is that "I'll let him be next year" and won't make him open presents??? No, how about he doesn't get to be around your kids.

Stop making excuses. Stop tiptoeing around this. His mental illness is not an excuse to be a jackass. He doesn't get to terrorize your family. Either he gets treated and take his meds so that he can be safe to be around, or he doesn't spend time with you. Period. [/quote]
