What are you supposed to do with bad news? Do you tell people about it? Do you take it in and say nothing? I mean, what is there to do? Is there a right and wrong way to deal with stuff? Obviously there's no rule book for this kind of thing.... I always feel weird telling people about any bad news I hear... I feel like they'll think I'm looking for pity, which I'm not. It's not good to bottle things up. Trust me, I know this. So I'll blog about it.
My oldest brother is battling addiction to both drugs and alcohol. He has been for quite some time now. He tried rehab and didn't stay with it for that long so he's been living with my Dad for the past two months, going to meetings every day and had found a new job and everything. He just got his 2 month chip... Then he got some upsetting news and he went to a bar, got drunk, drove somewhere, hit someone, and didn't stop. A hit and run is a felony. I don't know what's going to happen with that. Is he going to jail? I mean, he honestly should, as mean of me as that sounds. The legal system is there for a reason... But if he goes to jail, I don't know if he'll.... last... He's a danger to himself even outside of a jail cell in the "real world". What would happen if he ends up in prison?
What happens if I get a phone call some day saying that I no longer have three brothers living on this earth....? Wow.
Let's hope this doesn't ever happen.
My Mom has to put one of our old dogs to sleep tomorrow. We've had Sonny for years, I think he's 13 or 14, and he's just old and creaky and his back end just completely stopped working, he can't stand even to go pee or poop. =( It's so sad. I'm grateful I got to see him when I went home for Christmas, and got to pat his head and say good bye because we all knew he probably wouldn't last too long.
Ugh what a terrible night. =( Sorry for the terrible depressing blog.
