Oh my god. I ruined someone's life this week. And I'm not saying that like a joke. I really truly messed everything up for him.
I went to Tomahawk to visit Devin. We had a great time, I felt like our relationship was better than ever. Then the next day, when I needed to go back to Wausau and pick up my son, my ride fell through.
Devin had been drinking, and doesn't have a license. There was a car there, but it was a stick which I can't drive.
Devin told me he was sober enough (I thought he had only had 2 mixed drinks) and he would drive me back. Which, OK, I should have told him no right then. But I really needed a ride, I couldn't abandon my kid, and I thought everything would be fine.
After driving for a while, I realized he must have drank much more than I thought he had. So when we got to my house, I begged him to stay and sober up before he drove home. He wouldn't.
I guess he got turned around and ended up in Shawano. He got arrested for drunk driving, and driving without a license. He will probably have to serve serious jail time.
He is so mad at me. I know that it's partially his fault. He is his own person, and he can make his own decisions. But I just wish like anything I had stopped it. There were so many times that I could have made this better. But I didn't.
He cried on the phone with me today. He has a 4 month old baby, who he won't get to see when he sits his jail time. I've never heard him cry. I don't know what to do.
