I feel like my entire life is crumbling right now. NBR

That might be a bit dramatic.

So there's the whole thing with my dad, which honestly just feels good at this point. But I'm still sad that my son and my dad really won't get to have a relationship (not that they did at any point). And if you're on the FB page, you saw my post there. So there's that.

And THEN, my brother got in an accident today. Well, I don't really know if you'd call it an accident, but it was something that I'm sure was really traumatic for him. He was leaving football practice (WTH, why is football practicing already?!) and his friend was running towards him, so he slowed down. He was still moving though, but he knew that his friend saw him. Said "friend", jumped onto his moving car (keep in mind my brother is 14) and shattered his windshield. His friend is okay, but my brother is super shaken up. I'm PISSED that his so-called friend thought that it was okay to do that!

So now his friend's mom is saying that he keeps talking about wanting to die and stuff, and that's freaking my brother out even more. I feel bad for the kid and he's gone through a LOT in the past year, but I'm still really mad at him. I just wish today could never have happened. I call mulligan!

That would be scary. Hope things get better.

Sorry you had a rough day. But you do get a mulligan, it's called tomorrow! Wink

I would be so livid with that kid! Where are their brains? The cost to replace that windshield, your poor brother being freaked out? C'mon man.

Today will be better. :-)

I think you deserve that glass of wine we're allowed!

I hope today is a better day. I hope your brother is ok and his "friend" gets what sounds like some much needed help. His mom needs to step up because obviously that kid is crying for help if she said that. Keep your head up. *hugs*

Ugh, I would be really freaked out too. I hope today is a better day for you!

Oh no! I hope and pray things get better quickly. Try and be there for your brother as best as possible right now, dealing with a friend who is going through a tough time is hard no matter what age and even worse when so young. So sorry you are dealing with all of this right now. Sad

Help me. Maybe I am having a reading comp fail or suffering from pregnancy brain, but why is your 14 year old brother driving?

ETA: I swear I am not being snarky. I am just confused.

Gotcha. Thank you. I was so confused; we have a graduated licensing program here so kids are like, 17 before they can drive.

Also, sorry you are having a rough time. That sucks.
