I'm coming to my MIPers for support and positive thoughts, since lord knows I haven't gotten any from my AH. But I don't want to make this post about my AH.
My mom called me last night to tell me my brother had been in a bad car accident. Although I don't really identify my brother as my qualifier (he has had substance abuse issues for years) because I am MUCH better at detaching from him and his behavior, he's still my baby brother and it really threw me for a loop and upset me terribly.
Long story short, it sounds like he broke his collarbone and hurt his neck, but they were afraid of a head injury that seems to be very minor. Thank you, HP, for being with my brother.
Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.- Maya Angelo
