[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 58600, member: 1991"] easy child said why does the bad stuff happen to difficult child - I see a lot of good stuff happened for difficult child. * He was wearing a helmet which greatly reduced his injuries. * He was not the one at fault. * He had his father with him as well as other witnesses. * He could have been injured much worse - he wasn't. The only bad thing was the other driver didn't stop when she should have and she hit difficult child. Everything else is good. Really good. Focus on that. When difficult child 3 had his accident a few months ago, it WAS his fault. We're out of pocket about A$1000 for damages to the car, not taking into account the damage to difficult child 3's NEW bike (still not repaired). But difficult child 3 WAS wearing his helmet. He learnt a number of good things - 1) Helmets save lives. Including his. 2) He is not invulnerable. 3) When you're being chased by bullies, come home. Do not ride your bike in panic - the bullies won't chase you far anyway. Give your difficult child a hug (gently, because of the bruises). Tell him how proud you are of him for wearing his helmet, and how glad you are that he is going to be OK. And give husband a hug, too. Marg [/QUOTE]
