My mom crashed her car and we called the cops on her.
So this story has a good ending but can't help feel like I'm the bad guy lol.
So I moved back to my home town back in 2021. My mom since her divorce has been through her share of up and downs. She was drinking her self to death quite literally. I remember on many occasions she would call us on Friday and Saturday nights asking to pick her up cause she was to drunk. And yet that ruined my nights out. We did. My brother lives out of town for college and has taken part in her rescues as well before I moved back. Her drinking was getting worse and worse for 5+ years.
I can recall several times. She would come home after driving drunk and tell me she hit a curb or ran over a median. And ask me to changed her tire/spare. She even wrecked a few times. But I did. Then would leave again on her spare. One time she came home and half of her wheel was grinded down from the assault. Thank gosh she never killed anyone or herself.
One night she called me to pull her car out of a Ditch. I told her I couldn't help because I didn't have a truck anymore. Me and my sister decided to drive by where she said her car was. Sure enough it was in a Ditch. This Ditch was about 30ft wide, it separated the buildings from the road. It looked like she drove thru the parking lot into the Ditch. Not from the road.
We talked for a few minutes and decided to call the cops and reported a drunk driver. Soon enough cops showed up and arrested her for dui. We cried and just told ourselfs this was for her own good. We picked her from the jail next morning. And less than a week later cops pulled her over again and she got a second dui.
Since then she has been sober and has interlock in her car and takes UAS. So she has to behave. She has gone to her classes and has done very well.
I her first born. Has a baby on the way. My mom and dad's first grandchild. !! I am happy she is around to witness the baby and have big hopes she will continue her sobriety.
I just can't help to feel like the bad guys cause she has paid thousands in court cost and interlock and even had to sell her home cause she couldn't afford it anymore.
I'm just happy she is alive and didn't kill anyone..
We have never told her or anyone else we did this.
That's my confession
Update: She is completely sober to this day. my son is almost 2yr. And she currently lives with me and my wife, and we are very close with my mom to this day!!
