[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 603096, member: 1721"] I am not sure. I do know the charges are related to the fact that injuries occurred while the driver was intoxicated. I am thankful the intoxicated driver wasn't difficult child. I feel badly for the male involved in a way I didn't, before. Before this happened, he was just "that bad man" to me. The truth is that he had no license, no car, no money for gas, until difficult child brought those things into his life. This would never have happened to him in the normal course of events. These homeless people wander the streets, panhandling for booze money. They get drunk and beat each other up. But there are no cars. Other people's lives are not threatened. Given that they are only on the streets to begin with because their brains are not working correctly, there doesn't seem to be a villain, here. I am glad the van was destroyed and deeply grateful no one else was hurt. Funny, how my perspectives have changed, as I have come to understand the true nature of what is happening to difficult child. It has been so easy to fall into believing we can help her, that she can recover her life.... I must be entering the next phase of acceptance. Rethinking the accident, I realize that, whoever was driving, both the man and difficult child had been drinking. That it was difficult child who was hurt, rather than difficult child who is facing charges, is just what happened that night. It is true, what they say. The more clearly we see, the less we feel justified in our judgments. Barbara [/QUOTE]
