Ultimately, we all have to listen to our hearts, minds, and demands of our loved ones/children. You cannot keep ourselves or them in a bubble- life awaits.
Funny thing, a year after the traumatic, life changing car accident that introduced me to mtbi/pcs and this forum, guess what?
Someone backed out of a parking lot into me while I was driving with all my kids!
We all laughed at this cosmic joke - but sometimes, I worry!
