Regret

[13leanne]

Earlier this month, my niece was hit head on in a motor vehicle incident whilst walking home. 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

Hi and welcome to beyond blue.

So sad to hear what happened to your niece. I cannot imagine the impact this would be having on you.

I certainly don't anything about the family situation, except that speculation and what if type or looking for answers is normal.

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?

Please do not think the questions I ask need to be answered here.

You are a very caring person. Be kind to yourself - blaming ourselves is ...

Peace and comforting thoughts to you (and your niece)
