Now I feel bad.........

Post Reply New Topic

Mum and Dad were in a car crash
They were on the way to the airport to fly down to Melbourne to see my brother, who's causing headaches for the Navy (nothing unusual there) and someone hit them...........Mum's alright, Dad has a broken foot and a broken arm that requires surgery (yesterday when we were discussing my ribs I'd asked him if he'd ever dislocated/broken a bone in his life and he said no).

The car is dead, and that also hurts like hell. I was upset at Mum and Dad because they were thinking of forbidding me from seeing my beloved Lions in action against St. Kilda, now I feel bad.

My sister (who's only 11) is very distraught, so we (me and Kevin-John) are taking her out shopping to go my Mum and Dad a present (and maybe her too!).

*sigh*

EDIT: I'm also crying about the car. I have a habit of 'turning cars into imaginary people' so to speak. The death of the car hurts about as much as Mum and Dad nearly being killed.

I hope everything goes well with your parents.

I dont think you should feel bad. Sometimes ive been very upset with "dead" things dying as well. Like stuffed animals and a bike i once had etc.

It sounds like you are doing the right thing, taking care of your sister and making sure she is alright. Dont beat yourself up about this. You never know when things like this happens, and they are unexpected. If you were upset with them i can understand that you feel bad, but still this isnt your fault.

I hope all goes well for you, good luck and take care!

ouch, sorry to hear, hope they get better from it soon,

about the crying becuase of car, i did that same exact same thing when there was a crash involving my grandmother's 1987 olds cutless (cruiser??) it was a station wagon and i for some reason grew attached to it for a while.

Although it's understandable that you feel bad, you have no need to. You didn't cause the crash. You mother is ok and your father will be.
You can never predict when something is going to happen before it happens...and there's no way you could've predicted this crash. (unless you now claim to be a "psychic" )

The best thing you can do now is to keep your hopes up that your fathers arm can be repaired, help your mother out around the house if she's sore from the accident and help your sister get through this tough time.

Everything will be fine it seems.

Dad is okay. He's grumpy, so he must be getting better.

Mum's fine, she's sore but coping.

I'd like to pause here for a second. Please, whatever you do, wherever you are PLEASE wear a seatbelt. My mother would be dead if she hadn't been wearing hers. SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES.

I'd also like to dedicate this post to my beloved Kevin-John, who stood by me through everything, asked his mum to take care of my dog (Morgan Beaglehoven I), helped me go to the cop shop and get Mum's bags, helped calm me down when I got upset, held me when I cried when I saw Dad lying there after his first operation, who was always there. I know that getting to meet the Lions was great, but I know it's not enough of a thank you.

Kevin-John, you're the best friend I have ever had. You're the greatest boyfriend ever. And I love you now more than ever.

You need me, and I'm there.
