    Uppydate on my Brother

    Thanks everyone for your prayers. I am so thankful I have a place like this to come with this. ((((hugs to you all))))

    I just heard from Kevin...I invited him over for dinner tomorrow so we can have a talk. Krista is dropping him off and I guess will pick him up after. I'm not discluding Krista, I just think we need to talk so I can drill into his head what he's on the verge of losing.

    He said the following:
    *He isn't being charged with a DUI. When they got the results of his blood test, his blood-alcohol level was only 0.02...the legal limit is 0.08

    *What they held him for is the vicodin they found in the car. His "story" is that the car technically belongs to Krista's parents and the car her mom's car. He "thinks" the vicodin was her's...he has "no" idea how it got there.

    *When I asked how the police even found him, he said that the next car that happened to be driving by after his accident was a cop.

    *I didn't ask, but he offered, that someone "told the cop" that Kevin threw a beer bottle out of the car after the accident. I guess that's why they searched his car. Personally, I wonder if its how Kevin looks. He covered with tattoos and has those large hole ear thingys.

    I honestly don't know WHAT to believe. I hate that I can't believe my own brother, but if I don't question it, I'm just being stupid.

    Please pray that he's receptive to me tomorrow. I don't have any idea what I'll say to him...I'm just going to pray a lot and hope God guides me.

    Thanks so much.

    Love,
    Kelly
    ...RIP, our sweet Gini...

    I'll be thinking of you guys. It's so hard helping people that either don't realize they need it...or do, and, simply don't want it. Only time will tell......good luck......

    We are behind you 110% Kelly. My advice be caring and gentle but be firm. He needs to know he is not alone but you guys cannot stand there and watch him throw everything away. You say he is very caring and sweet so I don't think he would be non-responsive to you. And I don't think he would want to upset you or stress you too much. I hope not anyway. Good Luck Kelly. You are in my thoughts and I wish you all the luck with your brother tomorrow in the world. Please keep us posted.

    Kelly,

    Good luck to you and your brother. I hope it all works out OK. I think you should believe your brother unless he gives you reason to porve you wrong...
    I have been through hell and back with my lying sister but this doesn't sound like the same situation....he seems sincere.

    Give him the chance until he proves you wrong and go from there....
    Keep us updated and don't put up with any *crap!!

    Thanks, guys!

    Kim...I guess its a mini-intervention.

    Do you guys think it should just be me??? Or should I have my mom come too? I know that with her there, he'll be less likely to open up...that isn't what I want.

    sounds like you answered your own question.

    Kelly, I'm putting myself in Kevin's shoes.

    Quite honestly, if I had something to reveal or admit to (for example, drug use), I would feel more comfortable talking to a good friend or sibling.....ANYONE, but my Mom. I would only speak to my Mom after talking to the others.

    JMHO. Good luck sweetie and please keep us posted.

    Good luck with it Kelly, be honest and straight with him. You will know if he's not doing the same. A bit of tough love would not go astray here. Best wishes mate.
