In 1980 my son was 1 year old, me 20.
One morning hanging out his nappies I knew he was with me, yet I knew things went silent within seconds.
I called frantically and ran and he was rolling over in the swimming pool drowning.
I pulled him out, being winter he was in winter clothes and little hug boots, going blue I ran out to the middle of the road screaming for help. whilst pounding him on his little back to breathe scream anything.
Ambulance arrived and so much water he spewed up; taken to hospital wrapped in crunchy paper he survived.

In those days no fencing was law, being young I didn't know,
For years I blamed myself..

If I had not that gut instinct, to always call out to him.
He would have died.


Sophie ..Im glad your son made it through!
One of the most terrifying times in my life was when my dad was driving in Ontario(he was drunk)with all of us kids in the car..I remember looking up from the back seat, a semi was coming towards us, he swerved and hit a telephone pole..literally wrapped the car around it, it was split in half, by the time Firefighters came along they had to use the Jaws of Life to get us out..I lost my mom that day..


crying ..few years later my dad pulled a trickster on the same highway, off into the lake with him!

When I was 3 or 4 I had a nightmare of being in a desert, outside a domed-air-locked city, being chased by monsters.

I woke up screaming.

My Dad held me, and told me to dream he was in my dreams, and he'd protect me.

I've been close to death more times than I can count; but, I've never been more afraid in my life, then I was at a bad dream when I was 4.

I saw the place from my nightmare on the front page of the Los Angeles Times in the 80's.

The bio-dome.

That nightmare is always in the back of my mind; and my Dad's dead: but, I've always been calm, even while being shot and stabbed.

It's really amazing, how words of love can strengthen a child.

My best friend's murder I'd never been more afraid in my life. It's weird because when I almost bit the dust it didn't matter then and for months after I'd never felt less of anything. Totally different reaction.

Don't want to go in details but nearly losing my son was the most horrific moment in my life...
I've been in several life threatening situations but nothing was scarier than that moment...

I can relate but under different circumstances hug

When my daughter was 9mths old I came close to losing her, she spent a week in intensive care and a month in hospital. Truly terrifying.
