I dont know if this belongs here, but i need to tell someone

[pingo5]

its not illegal or anything, it happened today and the guilt is... horrible.
both my parents are home, along with me and my bro. my bro is downstairs(i didn't know) and my mom was sleeping for work later(also didn't know).
i hear a loud bang/crash/falling, like something fell. thinking it was my bro, i ignored it and continued on not knowing that i was the only one close enough to dad...
so after about 15 minutes to half an hour, i hear another, slightly louder crash. curious of what it was, i went out, and found my dad on the kitchen floor soaked in sweat. both my parents are diabetic, and my dad's blood sugar goes too low once in a blue moon and this happens, although it usually didnt hurt me as much.
so he's sitting on floor, all loopy(its kinda like a 4 year old when this happens) and i try and find something to do, so run and get my mom. she checks his temp, and his temp is at 92 farenheit. we call an ambulance. he is ok now, but i feel really guilty about not investigating the first crash. it really hurt seeing my dad there. and i cant help but think, if i wouldve investigated the first, he couldve been given a glucogen shot and been fine. if i hadnt investigated the second, he could have died. i was the ony one able to help at the time, and it nearly cost my dad's life.
guilt trip.

It's hard not to feel guilty, but you did everything you could do. It's not your fault that you didn't check the first time. I would have assumed it was one of my sisters and not paid attention either. The important thing is that you found him in time.

I can not imagine anyone not feeling super guilty over something like that, but of course it was a purely honest mistake. Probably 9 times out of 10 a noise like that would have been your brother. Do not beat yourself up over this, especially over what you imagine might have happened, because we all imagine the worst in theses kind of situations. I seriously doubt you dad or mom find any fault or blame on you in what happened. The only one who thinks badly of your about this is you yourself.

oh, thanks guys. i feel better. im too resilient, i felt really bad yesterday, and im sure it will be in the back of my head by tommorow :(
but yeah. its still saddening.

I know the guilt hurts. I hate guilt. It usually helps to sleep on it.
I know you probably should have checked the first crash but nobody can blame you for not, especially if you have pets. I often hear crashes around the house because one of the 3 cats is being crazy.

Its all ok, he is alive and that is all that matters, you shouldn't beat yourself up about it, we all feel guilt from one time to another. I almost broke a friends arm once and I felt very bad and guilty about that

[Cygnus]

You still checked the second crash and most likely saved your father's life due to it, even though you should have checked the first one you still did save his life and should not feel bad about that.

I know how you feel - yes guilt trip major but you found him in time and the important thing here is maybe you share this with your bro - so like you all know to go look if you hear odd noises again. But as you say it happens like once in ages so do not feel bad --

Your parents are not going to blame you.

[kylem1229]

You checked the 2nd one, thats all that matters. If its one loud crash, I usually dont bother about it either. Its usually just something that fell, or one of my parents will wake up and check on it. Mainly because imm to lazy to do so.

Don't see it as something to be guilt about. You were the first person to help your dad when you saw him in a bad way, nothing to be guilty of at all.
