My husband called me from work to inform me that FIL was arrested this morning for driving under the influence and endangering a minor. Apparently, he fell asleep at the wheel in route to taking SK to bible camp. He hit a tree in someone's yard at low speed, I'm told. Both of them are physically fine, thankfully.

I can only assume the under the influence charge is his RX use. I consider it abuse, but wtf do I know.

FIL takes a mountain of pills, daily. Some for pain, ADD, smoking cessation and a sleep aid. I suspect it's the Ambien. Or OxyContin. Could be something else entirely. He has at least a dozen prescribed RXs.

Here's where it gets sticky. MIL works, DH works, FIL is retired and I'm not allowed to be around SK alone, per BM. Why? I do not know. I was "cleared" years ago as a "safe person" by their court appointed family therapist. I've never been arrested. Blah blah blah. It's just high-conflict, throwing her weight around BS. It's definitely one of the reasons I ultimately disengaged.

Also, when BM finds out, I'm guessing heads are going to roll.

Have you seen that meme image of Kermit the Frog sitting back and sipping tea? Yeah, that's totally me at the moment.
