rnch's temper, lil' brutha, today's newspaper...

[rnch]

my youngest brother was in a horrible car accident about 7 years ago, got t-boned by an drunk driver in an escalade who ran a red light..pushed the passenger side of his car into a telephone pole, the pole had him pinned between the driver's door panel and the pole the inpact was so severe.

he's been in constant pain since then, cannot work, somtimes limps around with a cane. his back/neck x ray is a terrible site to behold.

what with the pain, the prescribed (and other stuff) meds, add in some alcohol...this polite, pleasant guy becomes a sarcastic, snide shit ass.


anyway, i stop by mom's house yesterday to visit her, due to too much overtime at work i hadn't been by in 3 or 4 days.

just as i walk in the kitchen, my lil' brutha is SNARLING at my mother "DON'T GIVE ME ANY SHIT, MA, JUST GIMMIE SOME GODDAMN MONEY!"

i lost my (in)famous temper, once again. all i could see was a red circle with my brother in the center of it.

i bellow at him "WHAAAATT? YOU SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR OUR MOMMA, BOY! DON'T YOU EVERRRR TALK TO HER THAT WAY AGAIN!"

i picked up the daily newspaper and start swatting him on the head and chest and arms as hard as i can as i herded him towards the door.

as he is staggering down the driveway i scream at him "DON'T YA SHOW YA SORRY ASS HERE EVER AGAIN UNTIL YOU LEARN SOME GODDAMN MANNERS!"


my sister, who witnessed this sorry outbreak of emotion, berated me for being so "hard on him", that he is in a great deal of mental and physical pain, that we should make allowances for him........

do ya'll think i was out of line with him?

he wudda NEVER disrespected my Mother in that way if my Father was still alive!!

 

[EnderJE]

[miplank]

He should feel lucky it was only a newspaper you hit him with and not a closed fist.

 

[hurricane]

If his behaviour has changed since the accident, there could be many reasons. Usually psychological.
So, beat his ass all the way to help.

 

[nefertiti]

Hell, I would have beat his ass worse than you did. There is NO EXCUSE to talk to your mother like that. None. I have ZERO PATIENCE for people who use crappy situations as an excuse to treat the people around them like shit. Hell, I'm getting mad thinking about it and she isn't even my mother.

 

[nefertiti]

Oh, and your sister is doing him no favors enabling and excusing that kind of behavior.

 

[javaguru]

I tried to give you K but nothing but the K heading bar showed up.

 

[SpyWizard]

that's because your father would have used something other than a newspaper..

I understand pain.. now go to him and talk to him.. it's all good..

Respect for our mother is the greatest respect of all. Your mother raised you and fed you and kept you alive. You owe her all the respect in the world. You did the right this bro. Good for you.
