((( Rap )))

Reading your post just made me want to cry. I can feel in it all the emotion you are trying so hard to deal with and put into place.

The fact that you can "see" the differences from 5 years ago and that you do have more support and a goal in life is wonderful. Hold onto those thoughts and run with them ok? You have grown a lot in 5 years. You have learned more coping skills. This is all good isn't it?

As far as the teeth grinding goes, would you be able to handle using a mouth/teeth guard so you aren't clenching down on them? Some people can handle having that in their mouths..some can't. Maybe it's worth a try for you so you don't make more damage.

I'm almost willing to bet that you could fight that ticket and win. Considering all the accidents that day, there is no reason why you should be blamed when others are not. Bad weather happens...it's not as if you were not taking good care while driving. It might be worth talking to an attorney, just to get some ideas...not necessarily to hire him/her. Most times having a first meeting is free.

Hope you feel better soon hon. Take good care of YOU!
