i need some advice and i guess that imthinking sometimes talking to strangers about something like this is better than talking to someone who does know me. so if you care to comment or tell me your thought i will be more than happy to listen to what everyone says.


a little over a year ago i was involved in a car accident. it took the life of my very beloved finace and also caused me severe injury in my right leg and ankle. i was in the hospital for 5 weeks and 3 weeks into being in there not only did i learn that my finace had died ( he lived for almost 19 days ) but that the injury was so great that i would most likely never be able to dance ( ballet ) professionally again. i was devastated to say the least the two things i loved most in life were now gone. i had to move back in with my dad after soming home from the hospital because i was still unable to move around without someone always having to assist me. i have always been extremly close with my dad but after several weeks of being back home and with all the things that had happened i just broke and one night after a rather big fight with my dad and brother i packed a bag and called a cab and went to the airport. i didnt know where i was going i just wanted to get as far away as i could possibly get from where everything had happened. in my anger and upset i didnt leave my dad anything telling him that i had left or where i had gone. lately i have regretted that action so much and i just want to call him and talk to him yet there is another part of me that just cnt erase what was said between us ( id rather not disclose that part) and i dont think my heart is ready to forgive.


please share your thoughts sigh

Sam--I believe in life, family is all we have to rely on (for most people). I implore you to call your dad and mend fences. Go back home and try to get a hold back on your life. Make decisions from a solid base...home. I am sorry for all the heartache you have been through. I have a friend who became paralyzed in an auto accident, and he went through alot of the same things you are going through. He fought like crazy with his family, but it was more out of agony and misery on my friends part, and out of frustration from his parents part. But they eventually found their way to each other, and he had a solid base to make very important life decisions. He is now very successful, and has a great relationship with his parents. So try to go back home and you make the 1st move towards reconcilliation with your dad...he will appreciate it and you will too in the long run. God Bless and good luck.

Sam,

What is past is past, you can't change it but you can make amends and move on. I can't walk in your shoes and tell you how to make things better but there is nothing which can not be worked out as long as both parties are willing to try. Many small steps will bridge the distance between you. Having lost family members and friends the one thing that I have learned is to never hesitate to tell them that you love them because it only takes a moment and you can always remember that moment in time when they are no longer with you. Good luck with your life and make every moment count. hug

Talking does not automatically mean forgiving, but it can lead to understanding... On the parts of both parties. I lost my dad on April 28th, 2001 and would give anything to be able to have another long talk with him.

I know all about running, I've been doing it in one form or another most of my life. Some of it has been running away, some (not nearly enough!) has been running towards.

You're the only one who knows exactly what is in your heart, but time isn't something you can get back. It heals, true. But sometimes it also destroys. If you're going to call, then call! Now! Before it's too late! No one expects to die tomorrow, but many will. And some of those will be the ones we should have talked to, but didn't...

Peace to you! And luck! And talking doesn't HAVE to mean forgiving, but it can lead to understanding...

Luck!

Sam; my thought on this, is...make peace before it is too late. Life can change in an instant. You could lose your dad and never get that chance. Feelings of remorse are hard to overcome. Words are just words. Family ties are hard to break and mean so much to us without realizing it, til it's too late. At least let them know that you are alive and doing okay. The not knowing would make me crazy as a mom. Dads have feelings too. We all say things we don't mean at times. And sometimes we do mean it when we say it, but that changes in time. If you are thinking about it now, it feels like you are ready.
I am so sorry for your tragedy. May you have the blessings of many angels.

Sam, I know very well where you're coming from. I lost my first wife and son to a drunk driver. And as far as mending a relationship with your dad, I'm also one of those...No matter what ever transpired between me and one of my kids they could never do or say anything that would stop me from loving them...lifes short and throws alot of curves, I know he's worried about you...and not knowing if your ok is the worst.

Call him and mend it. Forgive,I'm sure they will to, they know what you went through and I believe they will be more understanding than you think.

I agree with V, you never know until you try. Better to have things go wrong than to regret not doing anything later.

Sam, regardless of the details of your "falling out", your family still remains your family and are the base of who you are, always will be ....

Make the call. It will bring you to where you should be....
