I am. All I needed to see was the look on his face after getting my son back safely to know he didn't need one thing said to him. I couldn't have said anything to make him feel worse than he already did.
eta....and to know it would never happen again.

Re: Spinoff to forgotten child
I just posted an article on the other thread that says that the same thing happened and the wife forgot the kid in the car and the baby died.
I would be upset, I don't know what I would do. The dad in question seemed very remorseful an I don't believe he did it on purpose.

If the child dies as a result, do you think you can still stay married to the man? Being reminded everyday?

Re: Spinoff to forgotten child
I'm sorry but there is NO excuse. Okay, men are different and they can be self-absorbed, but damn.......he didn't hear the baby? Even if she was sleeping.......he didn't hear her sleeping noises? Come on! He was just an idiot!
that being said................it would take me a very, very, very, very long time to trust him again with the safety and wellbeing of my child.
sounds cold i know.........but really, we are supposed to protect them, not harm them!

I don't know. I don't think I can make a decision like that without being in the situation. If it was clearly accidental the guilt my DH would have his whole life would destroy him. I believe in my heart that my DH would never do anything intentional to harm our child. That being said, I don't think anyone can make a decision like that until they are in that situation. I hope none of us are ever in a situation like that.

Re: Spinoff to forgotten child
I don't think it's fair to "try" and put yourself in this kind of situation or judge how self absorbed someone could be
I hope none of you ever has to know what that feels like or to make a decision when it happens

Re: Spinoff to forgotten child
I agree - I don't think I could put myself in this position now especially since I don't have a child. I know that DH would be a wreck. If he could make the mistake then I could as well. Hopefully we never ever find ourselves in this situation. It's heartbreaking to think of it. Thankfully this child was okay.

I think it's hard to stay married when any child dies. It would take a lot of work to get over it but his grief would be the same as mine.

I agree...that kind of stress is usual a marriage-ender...
I don't know how I would feel towards him in this situation; but I know he would be more devastated than I was.

Re: Spinoff to forgotten child
I don't think you really know how you'd react unless you are in that situaion and God I hope I never have to find out. But I'd like to think I'd be able to forgive him and stay with him. I can't imagine the guilt and pain he'd be feeling and knowing what an amazing and good-hearted man he is, I'd never want him to go through that pain alone. Crazy things happen to good people. If I made a horrible mistake that resulted in my child's death, I'd like to think I could count on my husband to help me through it, I don't think I could survive it without him.
