[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was driving her car in college and another car was speeding and crashed into me, and it totaled her car. It was a super scary accident, but, somehow I managed to walk away unharmed. Even though the other driver was speeding and caused the crash, I had a stop sign (which I had fully stopped at), and was the one written up as at fault.

She didn't want to have our insurance go up or have points on my license, so we went to court to try and not have the points assigned. After the fact she told me in a very unconcerned manner that she was glad that I was okay, but, that the court costs were really expensive.

The money was what worried her more than my health or life. [/quote]

Sometimes we bring past interactions into other interactions.  If you were to tell us your mom talked about finances before she knew you and the other driver okay or that she did not express absolute relief on the day on the accident, I would completely understand. But it sounds like you are saying that even months after the fact (because court cases take a while), your mother could not express anything about the added money that your family bore?  Once you are okay, I do think it’s okay to remind young people of the financial ramifications of things like accident particularly if your family is going to pay for it.

I suspect your mom made you feel she did not value you in other ways which is why this hit particularly hard.
