Oh Tink, I'm so sorry this happened to you and to him. What a shame he's lived the life he has since the accident. Sad to say, that is how many people handle things...turn to the bottle.
I'm glad you're alright and the young man too. I know you'll do everything in your power to get him to seek help. I have a feeling he just ran into an angel.

Trevor was just here. He arrived within an hr of being released from jail.
He said he has no memory of being inside our house last night. He figured his dad, (who he lives with) hubby, and I were all going to be very mad at him. His Dad had glared but not said a word when he got home, so he's still dreading that talk. He looked very apprehensive when he walked in here. He said the police charged him with Operating while intoxicated... (His 4th!!!) and he's thinking he has got to go in for treatment before he does something even worse and everyone hates him. I jumped on that statement and pointed out that we have a long history together and I've always considered him one of our kids... so I want him to go in to get some help before it's too late. He got teary-eyed and just nodded. He wanted to pay us for the damages, but obviously we don't have a dollar figure yet, so hubby told him he'd like it if he'd come over and help do the repairs. Trevor agreed that would be a good plan. He said to let him know when we have a bill and want him to work. He looked so sad and down, that I know now would be the best time to help him find a place to go. If this gets him sober again, it's well worth the slight damage to our place.
