  queen,
  I think you are doing your best.  You might want to think about choosing some music that isn't quite so dark.  I know from my own life experiences that sad music keeps you sad.  Would you believe I am depressed for days anytime I listen to Celine Dion? 
  
  I think you are showing your maturity by being the big sister right now.  That's the exact kind of thing I was talking about when I suggested breaking the patterns of anger. 
  
  I hope some good comes out of the situation and that you find a fulfilling job very soon.  Have you ever thought about going back to finish the degree you started?  You might be able to earn the kind of money you need with it to reach for your other dreams.
  
  Just a thought...

  Queenie, I think you're doing pretty good as you are.  Your brother is lucky to have a sister like you.  I think maybe the accident just might have been a wake up call for him, or lets hope it really was anyway.  I'm going to continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts so that you all may come out of this sooner rather than later and in better spirits than when you went into the situation.  You're right, things will get better, just hold on to that thought.  Take care Queenie.  ((((((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))))))

  I'm sorry to hear about this accident, but very happy that your brother is okay.  Sometimes things like this have the good effect of teaching someone a lesson about just how fragile life is.  It also seems to have had the effect of pulling your family together, tighter.  That's a good thing too.

  I hope that this never occurs again to you or your family and I'm glad that nobody got hurt.  I hope that your brother learned his lesson about drinking and driving.

  Just catching up with you and glad it wasn't worse, even though I'm sorry to hear this.  Good for you with the last sentence there.

  My brother wrecked my car back in January....only that he wasn't drinking but had fallen asleep at the wheel and he dented the whole passenger side....but nobody was hurt. I was torn between being mad at him and being grateful that it could easily have been life ending. It surely does put things into perspective when someone has that close a shave with death. A car you can repair or replace eventually, a life once its lost its forever.
  
  I do hope that the bond that your family seems to have "discovered" which in essence has always been there, stays in the forefront going forward. Keep the hope. Soon even this too shall pass.....and hopefully when it does it shall leave you in a better place.

  qp, if the accident was bad enough for the car to end up upside down, your brother and his friend are very much lucky to be alive.  Very lucky to be alive and suffer only a slight neck pain.  He very easily could have ended up in the hospital for months, or much worse.  I know it's little relief, but I'm sure your parents would choose losing the car over losing a child 100 out of 100 times. 
  
  The queen has to persevere.  She has to display an air of indomitable spirit, lest the faith of her subjects begin to waver. 
  
  Salve Regina.

  qp:  That wasn't a quote from anything.  I was just reminding you of your duties as queen.  As the queen of state (of Paranoia) you have to defend her realm with your dying breath.  Out at sea, the captain goes down with the ship because the ship represents an extension of the sovereign state.  As the head of a sovereign state yourself, you have to fight even if you're the last (wo)man standing. 
  
  And like I said, not only do you have to fight and not give up, you have to imbue your subjects with a sense of hope.  You have to make them believe in you, and your cause.  Royalty's more than fancy parties and pretty clothes.  You have to be perfect even if you don't feel like it. 
  
  You have two options:  Victory or death.  There is no surrender, because surrender is death.

  grapekoolaid: i'll keep that in mind grapey... victory is my only option... ;-)
