Well.. not sure where this would go, but I think this is about as good of a place as any.. If I'm wrong, then go ahead and move it.. I just don't see it fitting in anywhere else..
Anyway.. This begins with something that isn't good at all, but hopefully the end will be better..
Alright.. so we were on our way home from work, when we decided to go to the mall. When we got there, I happened to see my oldest brother and his son.. I was bout to simply dismiss them from my mind as I usually do when I one of my brothers.. but then I saw Dave (my brother) hit his son, sending him to the ground.. even as far away as I was, I could hear the cracking sound as the poor kid's arm broke...
I stepped in between them, something I would have done anyway, but the fact that it was my nephew gave me that much more incentive..
My brotehr swung at me, and I just let him hit me... Dan on the otehr hand.. ran foreward and hit him back for me.. That was the first time I had ever seen him hit someone without holding back...
Kim called the cops at that point, though she wanted to hit my brother too, she controlled herself well enough.. As a result of this little fight.. after seeing to it that my nephew's arm was taken care of, by driving him up to the hospital ourselves after talking to the cops, I was awarded temporary custody of him since his mom and dad are both in jail for different things...
Next week, we have a hearing to go to.. if it goes well, then I will be awarded permanent custody of Kenny (my nephew.) But no matter what happens, I know that my brother or his drug addict wife will not get their hands on him again.. We know too much about what they have done in the past for them to get off without something happening.. (It also helps that the judge who is handling the case is one of the most open minded people in town.. Kim has dealt with him before.)
I'll let you know how this turns out.. but for now.. I will probab;y not be on very much.. gotta spend some time getting to know him better so that I can do this right.. And I need to make him relax as much as possible.. the doctor was pretty adamant about that one.. So I'll listen.
