Help?? Husband refuses to intereact with my family. Blames them for auto accident.?
Didn't know if family or marriage/divorce was right category. Since this is affecting/causing fights between us, I thought that I would ask it here. Sorry about the length. I thought the details might be important to your opinion.
My parents have lied to my husband in the past. I don't blame him for not wanting to be around them. My parents moved to a new house. My husband was on call that day for work. We told them that we could
No one can treat you badly unless you allow them to. While you are blaming your parents for the accident, you really need to take responsibility for yourself:
-YOU chose to go help them
-YOU got into the accident...it was an accident, so
follow your husbands lead.
in the end he is right and your parents were selfish
to do other wise would be a big mistake for YOU
in the end he is right and your parents were selfish

After serious head injury, Dover principal spreads awareness about concussions
The next day with a headache and felt fatigued."I had no idea who I was or where I was," Sterner said.
She drove to her doctor's office and couldn't comprehend the words on a poster on the wall. Her doctor took her keys, and Sterner called for a ride to the emergency room to have CT scan. She went to a neurologist the next day. She had suffered a severe concussion.
The injury, often associated with high-impact sports, mentally and physically incapacitated Sterner for several months.
She couldn't read or multitask. She had trouble completing chores. If she was doing laundry and the phone rang, she didn't remember that she had started a load of wash. She often forgot if she added certain ingredients while cooking and had to start recipes over.
She couldn't work. A typical day as principal is full of interruptions, prioritizing and conversations. It hurt her to not see the students finish the school year. She feared she wouldn't regain the skills she needed to successfully
