[quote=Anonymous]I was carrying my 12 month old down the stairs and slipped and fell. He was on my hip and I held onto him but banged/slid three quarters of the way down with his leg trapped behind me.

I put him down on the floor and he started crying and I tried to help him but he wouldn't stop. I yelled to try to get him to stop, I couldn't take it. I put him in his crib in the dark for twenty minutes because I was soaked in sweat from my treadmill and I showered.

I knew he had to go to the doctor but when I picked him back up he was completely calm and didn't really cry but still seemed in pain. I just held him carefully.

I feel so awful for all of this. He is 10 now and the sweetest kid. I don't know what I was thinking not just taking him to the doctor right away. Or yelling to him or leaving him alone. My daughter (4) was in the room too. I was under horrid stress from an escalating abusive marriage and just couldn't take anything else.

I got better and eventually left ex but I feel so bad. My son has a high pain tolerance and I also feel like that's my fault, because I left him alone in awful pain when he was one.

Then to top it off he had to go in to the hospital three times in the first few days. For x-rays and different cast solutions. Then after the cast came off his foot was a blistered and red from walking in the cast.[/quote]
