Some time ago.... a couple of years ago.... my psychiatrist recommended that I not drive. So what do you do with your car when you can't drive?
It just so happened that my daughter was nearing 16 and I told her that when she was 16 she could have it. I was scared. What if she got into an accident and was hurt? Still, whatever state of mind I was in when I said she could have it, I did say it and didn't want to go back on my word.
I got part of the 'what-ifs' placed squarely in front of my face today. My daughter got into an accident and totalled her -- formerly my-- car. Fortunately she wasn't hurt. So far, I haven't fallen apart. I was very concerned, and the incident will take up some space in my journaling, but I actually seem to be handling this.
Anyway, that's the excitement here.Dee

Thank goodness she was not injured - that's the most significant thing.
My husband's kids ("grown up" now) have been notoriously poor drivers when they were just freshly licensed. Lots of car wrecks, not necessarily their fault. It takes a lot of practice and road experience just to learn to be aware of the others on the road, you know?Take care, Dee.

I'm glad your handling it as well as you are, keep journaling. I've been in two bad car wrecks. You'd think after so many you'd hit your quota, but it doesn't work that way. Maybe it's a good thing, in a way, that she had this wreck. Mine made me a more cautious driver.
