[QUOTE="JayR, post: 1464451, member: 8613"] Physical: Nearly a full-year recovery from serious motorcycle wreck in my early 20s. When they tell you that you won't be leaving the hospital for "several months," and they're not sure you'll be able to walk when you do, the despair and hopelessness is overwhelming. Mental/Emotional: Trying to decide whether or not to continue fighting for access to my kid in the face of family court-sanctioned parental alienation and maternal gatekeeping. Sometimes it just seemed like it might be better to save my own sanity and spare young daughter exposure to the constant conflict and fighting by just fading away and finding her later when she grows up. However, research indicated that almost all adult victims of parental alienation say "I wish Dad had fought harder..." so that's what I did. Also, the idea of going through life wondering if she missed me was unbearable. Glad I hung in there. In both cases I had unwavering support from my family, which made a huge difference. [/QUOTE]
