Life is forever changed

Finally after a few days, I think the shock has subsided completely. I have to be honest with all my readers, I am very upset, hurt, confused and angry. I keep playing many different scenarios in my head, what if this or that. We are so very thankful that only our home and car took that impact. Had Brian's car not been in the garage, well she just might have entered our home striking any one of us. It is very sad the choices people make- especially those that have family. I am well aware that people are human and make mistakes, but I do not feel this was an accident, sorry! This could have been avoided!!!!!
I don't feel safe in my home. I don't feel safe letting my kids play outside which we do daily, I don't feel safe walking on my sidewalks or street. One person's stupid careless thoughtless actions took that safe haven from us. To any readers that drive drunk, I sincerely hope this story touches and changes your way of thinking- your choices. The sad part is that no warrant will be issued until 6-8 weeks when her blood work comes back, until then she is free to roam! Per a convo I had with the ex, he doesn't feel that this will change her. I am very familiar with addiction as I have had to deal with people in my own family with addiction to alcohol and drugs. I really hope that this anger is replaced soon because it is eating at me 24/7 and it isn't fair to me or my family. Again, thank you to everyone for your calls and emails. We have three adjusters coming out today. Please keep our neighbors in your thoughts and prayers also as their home has MAJOR damage and they can't even stay in it.
