I had a horrible dream last night. I dreamt that my oldest daughter took the car without asking and killed a person. I was crying in my dream and instead of being mad at my daughter in my dream I felt guilty for all the things I missed at preventing the situation. I felt that I had somehow missed on relaying the importance of responsibility and the need to admit to wrong doings. I felt as if I were to have caused the accident. In the dream she had first hit a person and injured them. We then spoke to her about how dangerous a car can be. we grounded her and that is when she snuck out with the car and the horrific thing happened.
When I woke up I immediately wanted to have a talk with her about how it's easier to recognize mistakes when we've gone to far. It's better that we recognize before we get there. She said "yeah, yeah, yeah, I know" I don't think it penetrated. Oh well. I'll try again this afternoon
