I still can't close my eyes without seeing that fence. I have spoken to other drivers who've been through similar experiences and my state of trauma or shock is normal, but still very difficult. I can't sleep well, don't have an appetite, and can't relax for more than 30 minutes at a time before my pulse jumps and I start sweating, thinking about everything all over again. I'm very lucky as well to have an understanding boss who'll let my productivity slide for a bit.

Well I was discharged from the military several months ago, try every time you close your eyes you see a 10 year old boys face after 7 or 8 rounds of 5.56mm. That'll **** your productivity up somethin fierce.

Going through a fence and dukes of hazarding into the drink sounds like fun memories to me! Sure you messed your dads car up and that sucks but dont forget how lucky you are to wake up every day by an alarm clock and not a mortar round. Some people have to live that way and they didnt even sign up in any military, its just thier way of life. Im not trying to be an *******, just trying to help you cope... Nobody died, learn to laugh a little.
But seriously good luck with her and I hope you get it all worked out soon.
