[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 520645, member: 14306"] Interestingly, he has managed to never being caught while drunk driving. I don't know why, and let understand why. Also here it's a legal issue if the police catch you while drunk driving. Court, medical exam, suspending or revoking license and so on. I preferred to prevent this situation from happening, and especially the accident, by letting him having a medical exam at the administrative service for driving license. His license's outcome is not my job, but their job. I worry for his son, my stepbrother. He is only 7 years old. He is not old enough to refuse and not being influenced by dad's beg to go into the car when dad drank. With his poor choices, he nearly had a car accident with my sister and I (like in a mountain road). Dad is also very impulsive, and self medicating does not help at all. Once, he asked me a Ritalin to make is work. I refused telling him that Ritalin is not a candy, medicines have side effects and I won't let him to take these kind of medicines without medical supervision. He turned out to self medicating again. WTH He adopted his son (WTH !! His wife is a psychologist, so it was easy for them to impress social worker and psychologist despite dad's poor choices), open adoption in the US (his wife is American, important detail. *sight* ). So not only I care about my stepbrother, who doesn't have the possibility to manage such a situation, but I also care more than his mother (she can pretend she suffers, I don't absolutely care : even on her death bed, I am not there for her. She has no duty towards me and I have no duty towards her). I can reasonably be afraid of an accident to happen with my 7 years old stepbrother, as my dad can be very impulsive and I don't like his self medication for relieving his symptoms. Yesterday, he made us such a crisis about a fear for being in a police file. He was paranoic that if he were inside this file, his wife may not ask French citizenship. I replied to mom that I don't care, he has to manage his poor choices and their consequences, and if his wife cannot ask French citizenship, be it. It should not absolutely be my problem at all, but his and his poor choices. His wife will also have to manage his poor choices too. Mom told me that it was my fault and I should avoid the nuclear war in this family. My reply was he chooses to drink a glass, I cannot make this choice for him, he is the ultimate to make it. I added that if he wants to self medicate, it's his choice not mine, and this choice has consequences. Here we go, sleepless night again !! That sucks !! When will this nightmare end ?? I hope I will be able to repair my friend's computer today, with such a tiredness from sleepless nights.... [/QUOTE]
