We cannot watch our children 24/7. Life does not work that way. There is a difference between neglect and normal living. It is obvious this child was not neglected. I wish the father peace.

Well stated. It was an accident.

Yeah, but she’s in that selfish mindset bc she loves her child so much. It’s not healthy, and I hope they got the help they needed.

He was on the phone, not supervising his kid around an open water source!! I could fully comprehend her rage.

[@vrazalico455]

​@@angelacriss3449when you know that you have an open pool and the kid can acces that pool, that kid needs to be watched every second of close the door so he cant go to the pool and that talk on your phone. Yes some parents DO watch their kids and think one step ahead! I do understand her anger but that wont get her son back she needs to forgive him it was a stupid mistake he will never forgive himself that is hard enough.

[@angelacriss3449]

@vrazalico455 now you join the band wagon! Listen, stop trying to come for me! I said what I said, and it's a fact. He lost his son, too! All I did was repeat what she ( mom) said. Because of that, you think that I was harsh. I wasn't! Don't read anymore into what I said, even though you tried to anyway.

[@lavenderkisses9461]

I think they both are just devastated. It’s hard.

I feel bad for Dad. I hope Mom finds a healthy way to find healing and release her anger and pain in healthy ways.

[@martymcfly5764]

He should have been supervising his son properly. If the mother did this, everyone would be attacking her. But because it's a man, he automatically gets a pass for his laziness and incompetence. Double standards as usual.

[@annamarielewis7078]

She’s angry because it’s easier than being sad.

[@anavigil7603]

I agree, the anger is outside of herself and in some ways may be protecting her from even a deeper/darker sadness. May she be able to process and lessen the anger more each day. It's so tragic.

[@deedee9312]

She must learn to forgive and live ❤

[@sandym6352]

Even when you know it's an accident, how HARD it must be to not feel some sort of blame. My heart breaks for them.

[@martymcfly5764]

Some sort of blame? Why wouldn't he feel all the blame when he's the one solely responsible for what happened? An accident is having a minor fender bender or dropping a glass while you're washing the dishes. This wasn't an accident and it could have and should have been prevented, so don't minimize it. Otherwise men will continue to get away with being bad partners and parents.

[@slvrbullet22]

AS a mother of an autistic child who elopes and puts herself in danger often.. this breaks my heart. I too would feel so angry like Mom is. Ive often asked myself if something happens not on my watch how would i feel? and this exact reaction is me.. i wouldnt want to be with the man who fathers my child however after seeing this it opens my eyes to the possibility of accidents happening. We do try our best with these kids and it takes 2 seconds to be life changing. My heart hearts for all of them.

[@annamarielewis7078]

What a lovely man. He truly loved his son unconditionally. So tragic. I hope he doesn’t continue to suffer. It was not his fault.

[@leah__gail]

I’m a medium myself and could see their little boy standing between them with his arms around them both…he also ran between Theresa and his mom while Theresa was talking to them. He was SO ecstatically happy to be able to communicate with them!! He said “I’m happy and healthy!” 🥰🥰🥰❤️

He didn't mean it? Boy the male privelage card just never quits. He didn't just forget to take out the trash or defrost the chicken in time for dinner.

To lose a child is one thing, but to be responsible & having to live with that guilt is unimaginable. I hope that poor father finds forgiveness within himself, praying for peace amongst that family.

[@laila8202]

my husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. He was only 36. the lady across the road came over about 6 months later and she told me that she was an emergency room nurse. She told me that she had patients who were so battered, torn up, beatened or burned that it would have been a blessing if they passed but they lived. It wasnt their time yet. she had patients who had just a bad cold and they died. She said it was just their time to go. There is nothing you can do no rhyme or reason no explanation

He is whole now. I saw a vision of my father in law after he died and in life he was blind in one eye and carried sadness from being abused. He came smiling, carrying a wiseness abt him, and his eye was repaired. He was whole. It was your sons time. Had it not been a pool it could or would have been some other means of passing.

[@maha77]

I totally understand her feelings but the bigger picture is each soul has it's own entry and exit point and it's not the husbands fault

That poor man is hurting SO bad. One could tell even before the story was told. For Theresa to say that he was chosen to carry the guilt and pain is humbling. Imagine if the wife or daughter found the little boy. Dad is doing his best to keep from crumbling into a million pieces. I could only imagine the pain and torment with every one of his wife’s words or painful glances. I am of course very sorry for her and her daughter. She needed someone to blame. Life can change in an instant. I pray they can heal together and get through this horrific time. Treasure every moment. 🌹

She needs some personal counseling for her anger. He's not angry with anyone but himself, he's crushed and her anger is crushing him even more! Less than unfair.

This happened to a little boy in my neighborhood a few months ago. Although his 10-year-old sister was watching him and they had an indoor pool. The child was too. I cannot imagine the guilt that this little 10 year old girl will carry with her for the rest of her life

Wow, this is such a powerful reading. I can understand this woman's anger but also all of the feelings from this man as well. How heartbreaking, but what a beautiful message.

I know this doesn’t compare but my father lost me. I was literally missing for an extended period of time as a toddler.

[@ericamorkunas5236]

I lost my baby boy to a brain aneurysm at ten months old. It was and has been absolute hell. He went to sleep for a nap. And he wouldn't wake up. He was warm and breathing still but wouldn't open his eyes. When we got to the hospital. They separated us and I was met with CPS and cops. Asking me crazy questions. It was proven hours later. It wasn't due to abuse or him hitting his head. So they finally let me be with him. An hour later, Doctors came in requesting I hurry up and make the decision to donate his organs. Part of me wanted to be selfish and not let anyone near him. But I knew he could save two lives and he was completely brain dead. I haven't been the same. Me and my husband are still together but live separately for now. I'd give anything and I mean anything to smell his breath why he slept just once more😢

This kind of guilt could cause a lot of damage, some damage it has caused already. Life is short, but you need to all be a family and heal together. Your son will never be forgotten.
