New triad but not working out.

You broke up with the triad. They are free to keep on dating. If he has beef, because Y will not date him without you it is beef with Y choices. Not yours.

He can insist you meet all he wants. But your willingness to participate in such a thing belongs to you, not him. It is ok to decline. You could choose not to go. (Best for your physical safety and emotional/mental safety)

If you feel like it, could give his family that heads up now -- that he is behaving strangely so you are distancing yourself. But you are not obligated to do that either. You already left.

Or choose to meet via skype or similar if you are going to meet. That is at least better for your physical safety. You can record it in your log for the cops and make him aware at the start that you are doing so.

If it is Y asking you to go for moral support? You could suggest skype, be his one touch dial and give him a ride and wait across the street at the bookstore. Whatever you feel ok with that is SAFE. You do NOT have have to be present. There are other ways to show support that do not compromise your well being.

X being a nutter with a gun is not something you need. :(

If Y is sucking you into deeper into this because he has trouble letting X go? Tread with caution and maintain your boundaries so you stay safe.

Maybe you set it at (Y can come to your place to unload for an hour once a week) til it is over. That is being there and providing comfort in a size that is reasonable and safe for you. If he needs more encourage him toward counseling.

But you do not go with Y to anything X related or let Y go on and on and on about X stuff every day of the week at you.

You do not make (x problems)or (y's problems with x) the center of your world.

Hang in there!

Do NOT meet with X. It will only reset the clock on his behavior. If Y chooses to do so, it's on him, but you don't need to involve yourself in this anymore.

I wish you a whole bunch of luck. Hang in there...

Thank you, I appreciate the well wishes. We might have to reset it just so that we can all manage.
 
When a person temper tantrums and you fold in ten times? It teaches that they get their way on the 11th. When you keep engaging, all it does is reset their clock in terms of counting times. A new thing will come up, and they know to tantrum 11 times minimum to get you to fold again.

This is not a reset for them like "apologize, forgive, stop doing the behavior, wipe the slate clean and start over." This is keeping score of how many times before they can get you to fold. They are figuring out your buttons. They will keep on being this way.

Be very careful here. I hope you can get yourself away from x and y can get himself away from x too.

Thank you Galagirl

I know and have solidified my position and while I understand Y's safety is not my responsibility. I want to be there incase X gets out of hand. I am in a much better place now especially with the assistance from you guys as well as offers to help from friends. Several of whom have already offered to be near for everyone's safety. A friend even offered his protective detail and driver. And we will have video evidence if anything does happen so hopefully that makes him think twice, if it doesn't then so be it. Will just pass it along to law enforcement to sort it out.

Once again the support here has been stupendous. Much Love to all.
 
Sounds like you have a plan and feel safe enough.

Hope it pans out and you are free of this his wacky soon.

GL!
