This will be quick because I'm exhausted. I have a call into Gavin's psychiatrist because we learned that Gavin is waking up in the middle of the night to go on missions. This is very concerning because the last time we dealt with this, he was dealing with a voice he called his Lego boss. Lego boss was an asshole. He bossed Gavin around and would wake him up in the middle of the night to build Lego structures. He also tries to get him to do bad things. He's not real, but at the time, to Gavin he was.

So to recap, he had an emergency call from an invisible, fictional person, on an invisible phone, sending him on a dangerous, imaginary mission. Did you get all that? He was pretty worked up by all this and had a sense of urgency in his voice.…

Coexisting with a person who has Schizophrenia can be a very difficult, frustrating, painful, heartbreaking and confusing experience. It's even harder when that person is one of your children and there's not much you can do to help them.
