[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 740214, member: 23349"] So the drama continues. C did end up going to the hospital, and he is still there now. He has three fractured ribs and a collapsed lung from the accident. They did some kind of procedure today to drain air from the lung lining. I have not been down to the hospital to see him. I feel like the worst mother in the world. But he has not asked me to come down, or even told me what hospital he’s in. And I’m just so tired of it all. I’m frustrated that he didn’t have the self preservation instinct and basic life skills to get young woman’s information and file a police report so he could have some kind of claim. He’s getting basic care that the hospital will write off as a charity case, but he could have had full medical coverage, money to get his bike fixed or replaced, maybe even compensation for lost work opportunities. And I’m still beyond livid about losing this room less than 2 weeks after I paid to get him set up there. I don’t have time to drop everything every other week for the latest crisis because there is ALWAYS another crisis. And as a freelancer, there is no paid time off, and I’m scrambling to get work done and billed to make up for what I just gave him. But. I still feel like the worst mother in the world. What kind of mother doesn’t go see her son in the hospital when he’s been hit by a car? That is exactly how I feel. I had such high hopes this time. He seemed so sincere, so ready. Then wham - back to hard reality again. Thanks for this SWOT. I needed to be hit upside the head with this. Good reminder. You’re right - bringing him here does not guarantee his safety. But it will guarantee that I will lose my place of peace and sanity. I can’t bring his chaos here. I don’t even know what to hope for anymore. The clock is ticking on his eviction, and now I’m not sure he’s able to work even if willing. So what next? I have no idea. [/QUOTE]
