Psycho Gorilla Dad
Just got word that my brother was arrested for possession of prescription drugs without a valid scrip. If true, not only is his parole revoked, but he'll be up on new charges as well.
He's been out and clean for over three years, not so much as a parking ticket. And now this.
And McWeedy? Well, I don't quite know what he's thinking, but he's acting like "oh well, if he got caught...."
:grrr:
Guess he doesn't want to look into the mirror of his Uncle's face and see where he might end up if he keeps on his current path. It's easier to ridicule and minimize the tragedy unfolding before his very eyes. And somehow, he's blinding himself to the larger tragedy of those around my Bro who will suffer this with him - like his daughter, whom he didn't get to see growing up becauswe he was in prison.
But somehow, that doesn't even make McWeedy's ole empathy meter bounce a smidgeon off of "zero". This is HIS FAMILY!! ARGHHH!!!!
But then again, I guess the difficult child genes run true. Since when does a difficult child ever weigh the consequences of his/her actions on himself, much less on those around him/her who will suffer as well - if for no better reason than that they love the difficult child.
Oh, and just to cap off the evening, when my Dad heard about this, his BiPolar (BP) blew the cuff off his arm and he darn near had another stroke (which would probably have killed him). He's okay now (at the ER), but it was a close call, and could easily have been much worse.
This has been one week I could definitely have done without.
Can I get off the merry-go-round now? I'm getting a little sick.
:thumbsdown:
