You could tell people that your family has never been much into celebrations of the holidays , so it ' s not unusual for you not to attend . You don ' t have to explain that it ' s because they ' re dysfunctionaljust explain it ' s not their thing . <| sep |> well it ' s one of those things where you absolutely need to incapacitate the person so they can ' t continue trying to harm you but you gotta keep it in your mind that they aren ' t really in control of themselves at that time so smashing in their head or other extreme things aren ' t really right at all to do . You do what you need too to protect yourself though and they face the consequences of doing drugs and going crazy . Just try not to go overboard with it . Think about how much it would suck to go out and buy a drug like heroine for your addiction but the guy you bought it from accidentally gave you PCP or somethingI don ' t really know what drugs make you go apeshit like that I know PCP is one of them and maybe meth but that ' s usually caused from long term use due to damage of the brain because of toxic contaminants in the drug due to improper manufacturing or handling and or even purposefully poisoned so when you take the drug you suddenly are having effects you ' ve never had before and have absolutely no idea what is going on to the point of thinking it ' s a dream . It sucks for pretty much everyone except for the drug dealer since the FDA or USDA similar department for regulating drugs which could get the guy in troublebesides just calling the cops but you ' ll be killed for that most of the time . Holy shit I meant for this comment to be a quick one but it got away from me .
