Hi there
Im new to the forums, i didnt know where
else to go to talk but i thought this
forum looked friendly and i could get some
good advice..
Im a 21 year old female, and just recently
i was involved in a serious car accident,
i was the passenger in a head on collision
into a pole. Ive broken my neck and i
currently have a halo and brace
contraption drilled into my head for the
next 3/4 months. Fortunately and luckily
enough my nerve was in tact.. i will be
fine. thats the main thing. Its a hard
time for us now, but at the end of the day
i will be fine.
My mum however isnt taking it so well.
She is 47 years of age..... with the
stress of this accident, and other factors
which include her divorced from my father
7 years ago, my teenager brother being a
total arsehole, her mother (my
grandparents) being total ancient annoying
people towards her.. every1 is on her back
at the moment and she feels VERY lonely.
I didnt know how bad it was, until my aunt
who works with my mum, told me today that
my mum cries to her at work nearly every
day for the past two weeks....
I know my mum is going through a really
rough time, could also be pre menopausal,
and i think she is on the outskirts of
deep depression...
I dont know what to do.. She is lonely and
this whole thing with me and accident isnt
helping.
Has any1 been through similar cases? I
love my mum heaps and she doesnt deserve
any of this!
