Latter Day Sinner

Yesterday my youngest son wanted a bath at an inappropriate time. I said no and it started a meltdown. We had to use emergency medication to deescalate him. He was able to get a bath in the afternoon and go with his respite worker. While he was gone Stephanie got our new cat Ether. When my son came home and discovered we had adopted another cat he began to melt down again. He screamed at the cat to go. As you might imagine this scared the cat which hid from my son. The screaming turned into pinching, pulling, and kicking and attempts to prop the front door open. He attacked us up pretty good as we tried to stop him. We got more emergency meds in him and my wife took him for a ride in the car. He came home and went to bed without screaming at the cat or the neighborhood again. I skipped my own sedatives before bed so I could be aware of the house while I slept. About an hour ago I heard a squeaking and crunching on the other side of my bedroom. I turned on my light and watched Magic kill and eat a tiny mouse. The past twenty four hours have been violent and murderous.
