The Most Selfish Person I know...
This is REALLY long and confusing. But recently I've been writing about things that bother me. It seems to help a little. So I wrote about this...

Today I went to hang out with Danielle. While I was over there I got a call from my sister Christin asking me if my sister-in-law Lisa was ok. I, not being at home, didn't know what she was talking about. So she told me that she heard that Jimmy(my brother who is married to Lisa) and Lisa got in a big fight(nothing new, they fight all the time). I told her I didn't know anything about it and that was that.
I didn't know the full extent of the "fight" until later when Mindy called me. Mindy is my sister Janette's girlfriend. All three of us live together. So she's basically my sister too. Anyway she called me and told me that Jimmy pretty much beat Lisa up. Mindy said that Jimmy had Lisa in the corner and was hitting her. I don't really know the details or the exact time line but at some point Janette and Mindy went and got Lisa. I don't know where Jimmy and Lisa's two kids were at that time. So Jimmy was home and I guess a lot of back and forth phone calls went on between Jimmy and Lisa's house and our house. Some time Jandy(Janette+Mindy) and Lisa went back to Lisa's house and they found Jimmy in the bath tub with a knife and he said that he took some pills or something. This part is a little unclear but somehow Jimmy told them he was alright so they left him alone or something, I'm not sure. I don't even know where they went but when they got back to Jimmy he had cut his wrists. Janette said that he cut himself in the right place to kill himself but that he didn't cut deep enough.
He was still conscious and everything and he heard that my dad was going over there so he took off. Christin and my dad and some other people(I'm not sure who) all went to look for him. Christin went to my moms grave because he said that if he was ever gonna kill himself he'd do it on her grave. That alone makes me furious at him. I know he's in a lot of pain, but we all are. We all lost her. He's not the only one who's hurting. He's gonna make us lose our mom and brother or wife and son in my dads case, within three months of each other.
Anyway, he ended up going back to his house. Mindy, Lisa and Brendon(Christin's brother-in-law) were the only ones there. Mindy called my dad to let him know Jimmy was back.
Jimmy took Lisa into the bathroom and talked to her. He told her he loved her and that he wanted her to stay there and sleep with him, literally. She told him she would never sleep with him again. She bandaged up his wrists. After that he left again. Just as he was leaving my dad and the others got there and my dad tried to get in the car with Jimmy but he wouldn't let him.
Jimmy came back later and my dad talked to him for a long time in the car. Then my dad came in and talked to Lisa for a long time. She told us that he was crying a lot when he talked to her. And if you know my dad then you know that he doesn't cry often or a lot. He always tries to be the strong, composed one. So I guess it ended with Jimmy going to bed and most of the rest of them staying there hanging out. I think they're mostly there to keep Lisa company. I don't think I could be in the same house with my brother right now so I didn't go down to their house.
