Good evening folks.
Well, we brought my brother-in-law home from the hospital today. He is one very angry and depressed person right now.
On the ride home he started in on how he wanted to be taken off the transplant list, stop taking meds and just die. I stopped the car on a bridge and told him that if that's what he really wanted, he needs to stop wasting everyone's time and emotional energy and just get out of the car and jump.
He looked at me and started to open his mouth and I said "If you say one more f'ing word about wanting to die, I will grant that wish and drag your *** out of this car and throw you off this bridge right now."
He closed his mouth and stopped talking. I then said "We are taking you home where you will recover and regroup. We can talk more about this tomorrow...but everything I just said still goes."
Now he needs time alone to regain his perspective.
