family strikes again
Jun. 25th, 2011 04:46 pmSpecificly, the Male Parental Unit. And the news is a month old, but Crazy Aunt Kathy chose to wait until last night to call Sis (with no explanation for the delay).
The reason we didn't really hear anything about MPU's court date last month was that he spent that day either in the hospital, or in the Reno County jail, also for a DUI. Among other charges, I'm sure. Crazy Aunt Kathy told Sis that he drove his truck off a dock, into Cheney Lake, was found fairly quickly, and life-flighted to the big hospital in Wichita. When he recovered enough, he was released to Reno County custody, and then was released. Why they did, I don't know, but now he's somewhere in Texas. Crazy Aunt Kathy claims she doesn't know where he is, or have a phone number for him. I'm not sure I believe her.
Apparently, Crazy Aunt Kathy didn't call anyone about this incident. Sis told Mom, who asked if it was a suicide attempt (unlikely, except maybe passively), and also his other sister, who was not surprised. That aunt gave Sis the same advice did: you can't change him. All you can do is stay out of the disaster zone.
I am guessing that Crazy Aunt Kathy didn't call anyone because this event shows that her plan to church and redeem MPU is doomed to fail. No amount of church-or any other help-will "fix" someone who doesn't think they're broken.
