There is no peace.

Last weekend, my mom fell down the basement stairs which ended with her breaking her ankle and knee. She's been doing the doctor's appointment thing and not working thing all week long. She has surgery for her ankle next week.

And now she's trying to hit up my brother for his charity money to pay her bills while she's out of work. At some point, that might be considered reasonable... Under certain conditions and taking certain things for granted.

However...

She was drunk when she fell. I wasn't actually there, but I hear that "drunk" is actually an understatement. I'm so tired. So now her stuff is all fucked up in all kinds of ways, but is there anyone here who can argue with her that her own judgement caused the situation? As my brother said, I'm really, really sorry that Mom got hurt. I'd never wish for that whether she did something to cause it or not. Frankly though, the absolute truth is that she's damn lucky she didn't get KILLED driving herself home that night. I really kind of think that a broken ankle/knee/leg/whatever is getting off really easy, considering. It's kind of surprising that something like this hasn't happened before, and that not getting killed while driving thing... Well, there's still time, isn't there?

Things may be getting ugly soon.
