This will probably get buried but I felt the need to respond to this AMA.

My step dad went through something very similar. His ex fiance, who was also a mother, was killed in a car crash. They were playing an 18 hole golf game and had a few beers. As they were driving back home, the tire blew out and they smashed into a tree where she was crushed to death.

If it wasn't for his baby daughter he still had to raise, I'm sure he would have killed himself.

The immeasurable amount of pain that he has gone through regarding this and the way he was able to lift himself out of that despair is nothing short of inspiring. People, mistakes are made. No one could have perceived the outcome of OPs decision to get behind the wheel. Granted it shouldn't have happened but how many times have we all looked back and gone, "Fuck. Super glad that choice didn't rear some shitty outcome because it came damn close to that." And without wanting to speak for the OP, I'm sure there were times that he would have loved to trade places. Just like my step dad wanted to. Jail time and fines are shit compared to the emotional hell of costing someone their life. I applaud you for this AMA and I wish you nothing but the best. Good luck to you and your future.
