So saturday morning mom got in a bad car wreck and totaled her car.. Thank God she was ok.. But the bad thing is her car insurance had lapsed the day before so now she is in deeper financial sh*t... There will inevitably be a law suit and she will probably lose her driver's license and have to file for bankruptcy.. And to make matter's worse I let her drive my truck to work this morning and as soon she got in the d*mn thing she backed right into a huge suv across the street.. I was sitting right here in the living room and heard a loud bang and ran outside to see what had happened.. This was the first time she had driven since the accident and she didn't even get out of the culdesac without having another accident.. So needless to say I'm incredibly stressed out right now... I'm worried that mom is losing it it or going blind and from now on I'm going to worry about her when she is out driving... And i'm stressed about all the financial ramifications these events will have on us.. And all of this couldnt have happened at a worse time because I have really been trying to get my **** together lately and all of this will set me back.. Again.. Im just feeling extremely frustrated... To the point where i just want to pull my hair out and scream.. This has been the story of my life thus far.. There is always some external event or person that I have no control over that messes up all my plans,hopes,and dreams. Nothing ever works out for me,atleast it seems that way... Just wanted to vent

Sorry to hear that. Bad luck re the car insurance just lapsing.

Out of curiosity though, why did you let her drive your truck if she didn't have insurance? Or are you covered for other people too?

Well AG, the Storm will come, ride it out and maintain. Getting upset will not help, just allow things to play out and be steady

This is one of the points of Faith, this stuff seems bad atm, reality is, it to will pass no one is hurt, there are no bridges burned

First of all I'm glad your mom is okay and I understand that you are worried and that it's hard. It's only natural, and I'm sorry you are going through this. At the same time, if this is pulling you down this much I think you should cut your losses. I'm serious. Your mother doesn't seem like a healthy force in your life, in fact I find her selfishness in this situation really offensive. She should have stayed clear of the roads after her first accident, and certainly after the second! She has no business anywhere near the wheel. If not for making you worry and endangering herself, she is also putting random innocents at risk! What will she do when she hits a car and kills a family? Such utter disregard for other people. I don't care what the necessity for her is, it's simply not her call to make.

YOUR number one priority should be yourself. Not your mom or anyone else. You also should not be enabling her by lending her your vehicle. If she got into a serious accent and harmed herself or someone else that would have been on you.

In addition to this you have your own issues and your whole life ahead of you. You shouldn't let family drag you down, you don't owe them your life (yes, I see the irony of that but no one can ask you to sacrifice as much). And you certainly aren't helping her by enabling her.

If you are unable to cut her out or put a stop to the unhealthy dynamic, I would move far, far away. It worked great for me. I didn't have to cut out my family, but they also couldn't drag me down with all the negative stuff in their lives (from illnesses to negativity of their own design). It's just hard to unload your **** on someone who isn't there.

I can see why your situation is bad, but I also don't think you need a pity party so instead I would like to tell you that you need to be more proactive in your life and to start demanding more both of yourself and of other people.

I'm not saying this to be mean. It's tough love.

I'm really sorry that this has happened, I'm glad your mum is ok and nothing worse happened. However, I'm with Sybil on this one. Why is it your responsibility to even worry about this??

Sorry to hear that. I don't envision a lawsuit or bankruptcy. Speak to the insurance company for a structured settlement.

I'm sorry AG
A lot is going on transit-wise. It's a really erratic period for many people, mainly those with cardinal influence. The Aries Uranus square Capricorn Pluto with Jupiter temporarily thrown in the mix - is.. in a nutshell *insane*

IMO things will settle down once the Sun leaves Aries and Jupiter moves away from that nasty T-square... I'm thinking late May and June should be a better time for you (with the Sun in Gemini giving your Mars and Sun an energy boost).
