One of the twins had a wreck

MsMcDucket

She just had the wreck this afternoon. She appears to be okay, so far, just a few cuts and bruises. The car is totalled. While they were checking her out at the hospital, the girl that I studied with and who brought my girls into the religion was there. The elder, who my husband and I were once close to, came in. This elder use to hold the girls when they were babies. The "sister" that was there is his sister-in-law. Man, I had all kinds of strange feelings going on. I noticed how the girls were happy that we were there, but they were happy that the elder and the "sister" was there. I was happy that these people cared about my girls. The elder left work to get to the hospital; the sister had obviously thrown on whatever clothes that she could find and raced to the accident. My husband had got to the scene before anyone (other than the police or paramedics).

I was happy that the girls were happy with these people. My girls love them. I guess that I'm going to have to let them go (so to speak). When the "sister's husband" arrived, (He's white y'all.) he was concerned, too. This couple is childless. I think that they have adopted my girls in their hearts. My daughter will be going over to their house to recuperate, which is okay with me.

I have mixed feelings about this.

Oh! My daughter kept telling the elder to tell "David" that I said hello. I'm wondering "who's David"? My daughter said it twice. I think that she may have feeling for this young brother (who is white). I knew "Davie". He's, probably, about 10 years older than my daughter. But he looks like he's 16. The weird thing about this is? I had a dream that one of my daughters would marry him.

Life is strange!

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. Glad that she's going to be okay, sorry about the car too.

It must be bitter sweet the situation for you to be in. I'm sure regardless of your own heart ache you are relieved that they are with people who seem to really care about them.

Sorry about the accident, MsMcD. Glad your daughter appears not to be badly injured. Really sorry about the other stuff...being kind of made to feel of lesser importance to this dub couple. Its hard to let go of your kids and even harder to watch them walk away.

So glad your precious daughter is ok Mrs. McD!

You are a wise woman to stand back and see the big picture.

I am so glad you post here.

What happened is this old guy pulls out from the side street right in front of my daughter. My daughter tried not to slam into the side of his car door, so she tries to go to the left so that she wouldn't "T-bone his car. The collision caused his car to be knocked a block down the street. The front-in of the Focus was totaled, both air bags went off. My daughter was talking on the speaker phone to her twin sister at the time. Her twin heard the accident. She said she heard screaming, and then silence. The other twin was walking on a college campus when the accident occurred. She told me that she took off running. She ran all the way to the scene of the accident! When she seen her sister with a neck brace on, strapped to a spine board, and bleeding; she broke down and cried. The witness sister was crying too. My husband said that he had to give them both something to do to keep them occupied, therefore, keeping them calm.

It's a wonder that my daughter survived the accident. This old guy pulls out onto a busy thoroughfare, driving a big azz older model car (probably pure steel), and my daughter slams into the car.

So sorry about the accident. I had a similar one coming home from college many years ago. Very scary!

I'm glad your daughter is okay and that she has friends who love and support her. I'm sure it is bittersweet to see your children bonding so strongly with others, especially JW's. You know what damage that can do to family relationships.

My sister-in-law had a tough time as a teenager. She left home, joined AA and found sponsors who became her new "parents". She even called them "mom and dad" in front of her real parents. It took many years, but eventually her sponsors had their own children to deal with and the relationship changed. My sister-in-law had to start working on a relationship with her family who she had rejected all those years.

IMHO, no one can replace your mom. I hope your daughters recognize that soon.

Hugs,
Eva

Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts.

It does pull at my heartstrings to see my girls giving others more respect than me. But, they are happy with their new friends. They only need me for any money that I may have. I want them to be happy. I'm so confused!? I need to let it go. Right? One thing that really bothers me is that the children have given their medical decision rights to the organization. Isn't that what that new blood card is for? Giving the organization to right to make life or death decisions should the cardholder become unable to do so???

My heart goes out to you. I am in a similar situation but I guess that I harbor a very selfish and bad attitude as my children are my children. I gave birth to them and in a crisis I am the mother. Friends should always be there to support but to not take over or (if need be) take one of them home to recooperate and leave me standing there.. That is just plain control. If they can not have children they can adopt.

It is wonderful that they love your daughters and drop everything in a crisis but they need to know their place.

My heart goes out to you.
