My brother seems to believe she did it deliberately but i know its just not the case. She has serious head injuries and i know its a long road to recovery for her but my heart is filled with so much sadness for all of them. There was signs there was trouble at home but i didnt believe it could be this serious. My niece asked me if she could stay with us, and i said yes, just not thinking much of it. She said i wouldn't be able to look after her and her sister. I said i would do everything i could. Now that this has happened i should have done something. She is just a little kid. She shouldnt suffer like this. I want to fix this for her and i want her to be the way she was but no it will be not the same for her Fri, 17 Jul 2020 22:33:45 GMT 13leanne 2020-07-17T22:33:45Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/ptsd-and-trauma/regret/m-p/475182#M16073 Earlier this month, my niece was hit head on in a motor vehicle incident whilst walking home.

I cannot imagine the impact this would be having on you. </P> <P>I certainly don't anything about the family situation, except that speculation and what if type or looking for answers is normal. </P> <P>Can I ask you a question - you said that you should have done something. Was this to prevent the accident? Or something else. What could you have done?</P> <P>Please do not think the questions I ask need to be answered here. </P> <P>You are a very caring person. Be kind to yourself - blaming ourselves is ...</P> <P>Peace and comforting thoughts to you (and your niece)</P> <P>Tim</P> Sat, 18 Jul 2020 10:38:44 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/ptsd-and-trauma/regret/m-p/475183#M16074 smallwolf 2020-07-18T10:38:44Z
