What did she do to you, except to reach out for some moral support? This is supposed to be a community here. How would you feel if you reached out and got a rash of criticism in return?

Romanelli's right. Regardless of what I think about the nature of this thread, I do hope your mum is OK. Sorry for not offering my sympathy earlier.

Jo, my best to your mom. I know it's hard for her, and for you, to see bad things like this happen to people unprovoked. Be happy that she wasn't physically harmed...you still have her there, and it sounds like there will be some justice done based on the fact that there is a witness.

This. Hope it all turns out alright for you.

I'm sorry your family has to be victim to this kind of thing, Jo. Please excuse me for not saying so earlier but I thought Squishy and Jack were a tad out of line (they're great people though, don't get me wrong). Don't let anyone guilt you for not following Christianity closely enough. Everyone should feel free to develop their own moral code regardless of how any church would rather have them live. If you believe that forgiveness is only warranted through apology, more power to you. It doesn't make you un-Christian. That being said, I would also recommend forgiveness - not because it's the "Christian way," but because I'd rather not see you this upset.

Thank you so much y'all for the prayers and encouragement. They are very much appreciated. My mom and me are just wrung out from never having a moment's peace from everything that gets dumped on us, some things I can't go into with y'all due to how embarrassing and personal they are. How my mom was able to get that car in the first place is already bad enough and then for it to be driven into barely a month after she got it, while she is in it, is just emotionally draining when she has been hit so much in the past already. Her previous four cars were hit by other drivers, while she was in them, because people do not pay attention to what is in front of them when they are behind the wheel. One of her earlier cars was crashed into twice and one that she had before it was actually hit by a school bus! The one that she had before that one was not only backed into by an old man who could not see it behind him and actually told us that he can not hear good making my mom laying on her horn no help, that car was actually hit by lightning too on July 2, 2002, two days after my 20th birthday and yes, we were both in it when the lightning did its thing. 😲 😲 😲

And yes, because of how my mom laying on her horn again did nothing to stop what happened to her on Friday, the only person who didn't see or hear what was going on is the word that I can't stay who hit her and him being allowed to leave by driving off in the truck that he hit my mom's car with burns me up even more because he had no driver's license before and after what happened. To me, the cop who let him leave should be booted from the force for not carting the guy off to jail for driving without a license. It makes me wonder how the man that hit my mom was able to score the car insurance that he said that he has when he does not have a license to drive anything! I have two words for that cop for letting that man get away with breaking what is a driving law: OINK OINK!!! 😠 😠 😠

God bless you and my mom always!!!

P.S. My mom got her car with what was left to her by her mom who passed away earlier this year on April 10th and if that weren't enough, we lost a friend to us both on April 30th and then our favorite aunt passed away on May 2nd which happens to be my mom's birthday and with her mom gone now, all of my grandparents are a thing of the past. 😢 😢 😢

or maybe dip into the well of sympathy and say something nice than to take the opportunity to blast someone for their beliefs when they are obviously upset.

I'm hoping this isn't how I came across.

BEA is a community built largely of atheists, Jo clearly finds her comfort from people praying. I've seen a number of cases when people go to websites like this to express how their feeling, whilst forgetting that they should really be talking to those that are closest to them, who will provide them with the most consolidation.

The thread was left with no reply for over 14 hours and Jo was clearly upset, I didn't want to make it look like nobody cared, but I also wanted to give some insight into why maybe no one had responded, which might have been hard to see.

I never used what I said initially as some sort of oppertunity to personally attack someone.

When I first saw the thread title, I was afraid that this would be about your mom dying.

Well, I'm relieved that this isn't anything like that. Anyway, my dad (he was on a motorbike) got hit by a car driver with no license too, sometime in March this year, so I know how annoying it must be. The driver and his family weren't as stupid and mean about it though, and our relatives were definitely supportive. Anyway, I hope things improve for you and your mom.

No hard feelings.

God bless you two always!!! 😄 😄 😄

P.S. I do feel like this has to be said though: Just because a lot of atheist people are here, does not mean that those like me are not allowed to come here too.
