Ok girls, got a lot on my little brain lately.
Since, I believe it was Augutst 2009, my family has been struggling, with a choice that my brother, who lives in Florida made, that changed all our lives forever. At the time, he was 40 years old. He has a young son who is now 4, and has a rocky marriage to his wife.
My parents got a phone call from him at about 3:00 in the morning, stating that he had been arrested. He had gotten behind the wheel of his car at about 1 am, after getting in a fight with his wife, and had gone drinking. He struck the back of a truck that was parked on the side of the road while entering an on ramp. There were 3 people in the truck. The driver who was only 22 at the time, was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle killing him instantly. My brother was arrested for DUI Manslaughter.
After learning of this incident from my parents, I became very depressed and extremely upset at him. When I was 18, my best friend was killed by an imparied driver. Now to have this happen in my family is all to much for me to deal with.
Since 2009, my brother has lost his job due to extreme depression and harrassment from other co-workers. He lost his home, and his wife and son.
He had his trial in May of this year, in which he was found guilty of DUI manslaughter. He was then arrested again and now had to wait for his sentencing. Well yesterday he had his sentencing hearing, and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
I'm extremely overwhelmed at all that has happened these past 2 years.
In no way am I justifying anything that he did.
What he did was wrong. I know it, my family knows it, and he knows it.
We can only imagine what the other family is going through, and have extreme sympathy for them with all of our being, and wished none of it had ever happened. It's all a TERRIBLE nightmare that none of us can wake up from.
Words cannot express the pain we feel for them.
My brother's trial has been on the news in his hometown, and my family is just devastated at everything that has unfolded from all of this. We hurt so badly for both sides. To lose a family member is extremely painful. Having a family member who took that life away is indescribable. Having to live with the consequences of what happened has broken our family into shattered little pieces that I don't think we will ever be able to put back together.
My heart is broken.
I'm devastated, embarassed, and ashamed he was so careless.
He took something that can never be replaced.
Our family strongly believes that he had to be punished just as if it were anyone else.
Thank you for letting me talk about this.
My heart is broken for both families.
Have you spoken to the other family? Healing needs to happen for both families, and maybe they need to hear this from you as much as you need to say it.
Although, I can't say I understand what you are going thru, I can relate to having to deal with a family members actions that cause damage to others, it's not easy. I'm so sorry that you and your family are going thru such a horrible thing, and although I don't pray, my thoughts will be with you and your family, and the other family, that you my all find your way through this.
I haven't asked my parents if they have had any contact with them. I myself have not.
There is a part of me that wants to say somthing to them. But what? What can I say that hasn't already been said.
I'm just lost for words in this all together really.0 -

Nooo! Can't believe there's a committment challenge the one week I go on holiday and won't be able to get online every day! I normally come on every single day! Oh dear!
Have done my emotional challenge already, written myself a note and stuck it on the mirror. I also have a necklace that someone brought me that says 'Yummy Mummy' on it. I've always felt stupid wearing it but now I'm going to start wearing it all the time and tell myself that I deserve the title!!0 -

Sometimes it's not what you say, it's the fact that you say something. Sometimes people just need to know that they are not alone, that they aren't the only ones hurting.0 -
