A Redditor shared a distressing experience regarding their son, who sustained a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. They have received a $250,000 insurance settlement and are considering investing this money to secure their son's future amid uncertainty regarding his ability to work. The son is currently undergoing therapy and may start working at a recovery center, which could provide insights into his future employment potential. This emphasizes the complex challenges parents face when planning for uncertain futures due to unexpected life events.
No matter how hard we try as parents, sometimes the universe has a funny way of handling things, so you might need to think outside the box.
As painful as this might be, the Redditor is being a parent first and doing the absolute right thing by looking to take the insurance settlement money and establish a future.
The son is going through intense therapy right now, and while he isn't completely disabled, the likelihood of a full-time job is going to be dependent on the severity of any brain injuries.
The great news is that the son is looking to start a 'job' at a recovery center to help identify how well the son can perform in more intense environments.
