The thing is, you can't be sure of that, maybe if they had reached your home, you or your sister would have noticed the driver was totally drunk and could have stopped them. | ||

You should have shelved your own feelings and supported her rather than saying things that probably made it worse. Disagree completely.. I don't think he's an asshole at all, this girl put herself, everyone in the car, the guys sister and everyone that was/would be on the road with her that night in extreme risk. Maybe you can actually see yourself being able to hold back, or maybe you just can't fully imagine the situation but I sure can't imagine not telling her how fucking stupid she was. It's tragic that this had to happen but she brought all this down on herself, and even worse she brought it down on other people. | ||

It's tragic that this had to happen but she brought all this down on herself, and even worse she brought it down on other people. And as I said, I agree with all of that. But when your friend just died, that's not what you want to hear, and hearing that is only going to make it worse for you. Tell her that in a week or a month, but to tell her that right after the accident while she's still mourning is just cruel. If you can't put stuff on the back-burner to comfort and support someone who has just lost a friend, then you should go away. Just because you don't feel bad for your sister's friends doesn't mean that she doesn't. And you should be able to at least have sympathy for her loss and pain. | ||

Being drunk off your face and attempting to drive is pretty dumb. No matter the situation. | ||
