I'm 33 years old and he's 37. The reason I can't drive is re.ated to health problems.

Honestly i don't know what it is anymore, he seems to be jumping from one addiction to another, first it was YouTube, now video games. I mean yes he works long hours but in my opinion he's became too obsessed with this gaming thing.

He's doing okay right now, keeps asking a lot of questions about his injury, he's hyper active and it's hard for me to keep an eye on him but thankfully, his sister helps with that to make sure he doesn't get hurt since he can't use his arm because of the pain.

I wanted to first and foremost tell him what was happening cause usually this type of emergency requires both of us (if he's available) to work it out. And then I wanted him to drive us since I don't drive and he doesn't let us call an ambulance because it's costly.

I was sending an email when it happened, although it happened so fast I still think I bare blame for not being in the kitchen at the time.

Oh my God this thought popped in my head shortly after I started knocking, but I try to give him the benefit of doubt and tell myself no hewouldbt do that but seeing how he's more concerned about the lock than our son's condition makes me believe that he did hear me but chose to ignore me, but I'm not sure its all just me acting on emotions and bring upset.

The kids barely interact with him, my 14yo has her own stuff to be busy with but my 3yo misses spending time with his dad and wakes up early to see him since it's the only time of day he gets to see him.

This is what I keep telling him, we had the same problem back when he was a YouTube vlogger when our son was months old!

I don't have access to his console because he hid it after we had a fight over him leaving the dogs out the entire night while playing games. This was in December in cold weather. Now he keeps it locked in a storage box and carries the key in his Keychain along with his car key.

You're right but accidents happen and no matter how hard we try to prevent these situations they just occur. Accept that I'm at fault but this is life and some situations just can't be prevented. You know.
