My wife and I were awoken to 'Mom, get up I hit Adam and now he can't feel his face'.
I never thought I'd be posting this, but last night my wife took an ambulance ride with my middle stepson. His older brother had backhanded him and wound up breaking his cheekbone at 3am. They had been playing a video game, and after a wisecrack the middle son hit the oldest in a 'tender area'. and the older retailated.
It was in the middle of a record setting storm, and so she called the emergency dispatchers and had the ambulance take them in to the emergency room for x-rays, and I had to go get them at 9am after getting a couple of fitful hours of sleep.
I'm an only child, so I never had any sibs to rough-house with or on. I can 'understand' a certain amount of rough-housing, but this last episode has disturbed me quite a bit. I'm at work at the moment, making up for yesterday's 'snow' day now that the weather has cleared up.
Everyone else involved is home sleeping last I knew. I'm really Not looking forward to going home this afternoon, which is really quite sad. crank up the good thoughts and other vibes please, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask the oldest to find a place to stay for a few days, Not what I want to do, but we don't Have any other place for him to stay other than where the two of them share a bedroom. (other than the couch, but that's not separation to my mind) If my shop were insulated I'd put a cot out there, luckily for him it isn't.
