Oh honey, sorry about your brother!

I just asked Mike.. without telling him your story, I asked what his reaction would be if 'repeated your story as if it were my brother' and would he want me home or be happy to look after the kids....

His answer....

I'd want you to be with your brother!


I think that's enough said... you're not being selfish... your husband is. Tell him to grow a pair and look after his children. How would he feel if the roles were reversed? If a sibling of his was in a very bad accident?

Sorry... being a bit defensive of you there!

THinking of you and your family!! Hope your brother is okay sweetheart!!!

Thank you! I basically said all those things at the time and haven't spoken to him since. (childish I know but silence is a language he understands from me! )

Wee bro is very lucky. Finished up with some stitches on his face in a few places, bruised from head to toe and some bleeding in his leg (don't know details) but no broken bones. He's in hospital for a day or two, but all in all he's not so bad really. Scary to know though how close he was to it being a whole lot worse.

So sorry debs but glad he is ok! My husband would probably be understanding and let me go to my sister if she'd been in an accident but after an hour or so I'd be getting grumpy texts asking when I was home Maybe it was just a confidence thing and doesn't quite know how to handle both yet? I too go for the silence routine when I'm mad. My only other option is screaming and I'm not prepared to do that with my girls in the house, they don't need to hear mummy loosing my cool

Sam is having girls next weekend while I go to the spa. Leaving 8am Saturday and be home late Sunday afternoon so excited but upset to leave my babies

Loving being back at work it's made me feel sooooo but better, lots of energy and thinking clearly etc. little break from the girls is nice and Sam is being more understanding at how hard it is because he has them half the day

Sam's mum is out of hospital now and is ok. Taking it easy but glad to be home.

I start pole level 5 tomorrow! Lots of going upside down and no hands stuff now, my lifeline is friction and flabby thighs lol!

So all good here even though everyone is ill!

Love to all xxx

 

[tiggertea]

Yeah that was kind of how it was here Katie.
Think he's caught on how annoyed I was... He's being very helpful and attentive this morning. Humph, I'm still not forgiving him.

 

[tiggertea]

Glad Sam's mum is out and ok Katie x

Bro is just very sore and kind of in shock I think. If he had been 2ft further forward on the road he would have been killed. Keep telling him not to dwell on what could have happened and just deal with what did, but it has shaken him up. Especially since he's a really careful driver... He's not a speed freak lol.

 

[claire-lou]

So glad he is ok Debz

Happy birthday Ben xxx

 

[MummyCat]

So... that a write off then??

I was just being severely sarcastic there! Holy shit!!! Bloody hell Debz, it's a miracle he survived that. Are the Police going to prosecute?

The guy who hit Mike on the Motorway (M25) last May got taken to court (by the Police) and charged £300 and 6 points for negligent driving. We got letters informing us Mike may be called as a witness (he wasn't) and we got a letter with the results... all sent to us by the police.

ps... talk about it as much as you like babe.... it's a big (and scary) thing to happen you'll need someone to talk to about it. Will your brother be offered some counseling? this may have more effects on him than just physical.

pps what's the age difference between you and your brother? I have 22 months between me a my 'baby' brother

 

[tiggertea]

I haven't heard much about what the police are going to do tbh. They spoke to Steven (my bro) yesterday, but are coming back to take his full statement. They did say the tractor driver has said it was his fault - he didn't see the car coming and drove on out of the side road, so not sure how it works if someone actually claims responsibility?

Bro has to go and see the GP about getting stronger painkillers etc because the hospital say they can only send low dosages home so they'll likely ask if he needs counselling at that appointment, or maybe a review one. Again, I haven't a clue how it works!

There's 6.5 years between us. He'll be 21 in the summertime.

 

[MummyCat]

My brother is also Steven! though yours is a baby brother

Mike had a third party lawyers company call him (our insurance asked if they could put one in touch) and he ended up with physio all on 3rd party. They also settled our accident/3rd party claim on items lost in car and damage to Mike. We got £3k. Your brother may get more than that due to the extent of his injuries! The guy who hit mike claimed responsibilty too, it makes it a quicker process and your brother should not have issue with his insurance company and won't lose any no claims he's built up!

 

[MummyCat]

he does need to see his Dr and get more painkillers... he's going to be hurting... bless him!

 

[jms895]

Hows your broDebz?

Gem hope Ben had a fab day x

 

[jms895]

Wow that car is a mess! Bloody hell he is a lucky boy!
