Agreed. I am not in a hurry. She is. I am not. She can go without for a month or two and know what it is like to go from wheels to nothing. And I don't drive her anywhere. Mom is a bit more soft. She can suffer for a bit and just be without. She feels the pain but will not complain, I know that it is a bother to her but she knows better than to complain to me about it. No, she will quitely wait until I am ready to buy her a new car or I know that she has suffered long enough without it. Let me tell you, no one can beat her up as much as she beats herself up over the accident. I don't need to add to her overt emotional pain at this point. Time will fix it. I am just not ready yet and she knows it and will not ask. She is lucky to be alive and we ALL know that, that is enough for us, for now.
Edit: On the correction, we have restricted her hours for time to be out and home. She is cool with it. It was all I could get to get her behind the wheel again and drive down the same road, the only secondary highway to and from our house and civilization. I finally had to put my foot down and force her to drive, by herself, alone, past her accident scene. I also forced her to take me to the site and walk me and her mother through the whole event, step by step, and relive it, 4 days after as part of a healing process.
