Wow Diana that seems like quite a weekend!
It is very sad about your brother and his girlfriend... and especially that your mom won't believe it. That seems to happen a lot though. My grandma is in total denial about my uncle being an alcoholic, and he knows that and takes total advantage of her. She spends every day waiting for a phone call from him to drive him wherever and do whatever. He's on probation now, because he was in jail for driving drunk, rolling his SUV, and killing his passenger
He has no remorse about it. I just found out that while we were on vacation he went back to jail because he was at a house party and someone "spiked" his drink. That's what my grandma told me. They wanted him out of there so badly they put alcohol in his drink when he wasn't looking so that he'd go back to jail. Really. She will believe every excuse he makes and she'll make every excuse for him. It breaks my heart. She will not believe he has a problem, because he says he doesn't, and I guess that's easier on her. It makes me so mad to listen to it though, and I have to change the subject.
As for everything else, I hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation and visiting! I have always wanted to go to a big water park. I hope you have a ton of fun!
