Oh, he is in so much trouble

I looked on the caller ID and it was my grandma that had called. I was like what in the world is going on. So I try calling her back but her line was busy, I try couple more times still busy. I tell the girls get back into the car and we head over to my grandmas house. I of course run to the door thinking something is wrong. I find out my brother had wrecked (yes again), and that they couldn't get a hold of my mom tell her what happened (the EMT people), my grandma is on the phone with her when I got to her house. This was going on around 9:45 pm and I was over at my grandmas about a hour.

Ok, fast forward to 11 pm my mom calls from the hospital and says my brother might have broken arm, nose and he has lot of cuts on his face. He also is being charged with a DUI. We had a feeling he had been out drinking with one of his so called buddies anyways. My mom & brother was in the ER until about 3 AM. The doctor didn't do no blood test to check how much alchol levels were though.

I talk to my brother on Saturday, and found out that he didn't have no broken bones and just a concussion. He had to be watched for 24 hours. I asked him straight out why he wasn't at work. Because he was suppose be working he didn't have any vacation days off. He said he was out looking at furniture for the place him & his girlfriend found to rent, and he was also doing some thinking. I asked him how many beers he had he told me 6. But now I think it is a lie, unless he had someone else with him or gave some a way.

He went to the state police station yesterday and found out he will be in jail for 24 hours. He is also going to loose his license, just haven't found out for sure how long it will be for. He will have to go to court to find out for that.

Rob, my mom & I went out and looked at my brothers truck yesterday. Oh, my it was awful. My brother is really lucky he didn't get hurt worse or hit someone else.

My husband said he seen where my brother wrecked and from the looks of it. He ran off the road and tried get it back up on the road. And then he hit the bank on the other side of the road and was riding long side of it for awhile and then it finally just rolled. He said you had see places in the road from where his truck was sliding down the road.

Sorry, this is so long. But it just makes me think my brother is doing just like my dad. Last year I almost lost my dad because he was out drinking and driving and lost control of his truck. You would really think my brother would think about that kind of stuff but I guess he don't.

3xsthefun replied: Yeah, well my mom said the same thing. I hope it will be a wake up call for him hopefully.

Also, he is still under age he won't be 21 until November, not that it makes much of a difference.

When we looked at his truck yesterday. Rob looked in his tool box and the cooler with the beer was still in there. It looked like he was messing with it after the wreck because there was blood on it. He also had a empty 12 box in the tool box. He had 4 empty beer cans in the cab, and there was 4 in the cooler that hadn't been open.

I'm sorry. I have a half brother who's 20 and getting in the same kind of trouble ... my dad took his word for it when he told him the story this last time and about sued the city (long story) until he got the police report, now my brother says they're lying (yeah right) blah blah.

Anyway, it's frustrating and I know you're worried about him. Hope he gets some kind of lesson out of it and doesn't hurt himself or someone else.

I am sorry... I know you care and worry about your brother, and it must be so hard to watch him do this to himself. But, he is the one that is going to have to make the decision to change. I hope this WAS a wake up call that he needed. I wonder if your Mom (or even your brother) can talk to the judge or prosecuter about getting your brother some kind of counseling or rehab instead/ or in conjunction with jail time. I am sure your father's alcoholism has had some affect on your brother and it may take intervention to break the cycle.

Loving and dealing with family is tough sometimes.

3xsthefun replied: Yes, this is his first DUI.

I'm not sure if my brother or my mom will talk to the judge about rehab or not. I sort of doubt it. I know alcoholism does run through my family on both sides. My mom doesn't hardly drink anymore, and when she did drink she didn't drink much. One of her sisters on the other hand has a real problem with alcohol.

The thing is he is suppose be getting married in September. I don't know if he is ready or not. The way he is acting sure don't seem like he is.

My dad told him to get him a lawyer to fight the them over the 24 hour jail thing. But to be honest I don't think it would hurt him. I hate to say that but maybe it really is what he needs.

I say have either one of them look into what Dee Dee said
Good Luck and I'm glad he isnt to hurt or didnt Killed anyone either

JP&KJMOM replied: I agree that hopefully it will be a wake up call but he is pretty young and most of the time they think they are immune to anything happening to them. Prayers that this does wake him up.

KingMom replied: Good thing he is okay, but I agree, I hope this is a wake up call for him! Glad no one else was hurt.
