Right. I think I may have caused an accident when I was between the age of 6-8 on my bmx causing a man to crash! I remember it being on the front page of my local paper so I presumed he was dead!
I want to own up, the guilt had become too much, what do I do?
I presume the man wasn`t dead? Which means he`s alive and well> If that is the case - don`t worry about it. We`ve all done things in our childhood that make us ashamed - that`s life.
You were just a child! maybe he didn't die!...you need to find out!.........and then decide what to do next!....................no point in living with guilt!........You may have it all wrong in the end!...............find out once and for all.........and then deal with it!............Hope it works out for you!...........
Go speak to someone like the Samaritans, they will let you talk in confidence if that's all you want to do. Or - if this is a wind-up - write your confession on a piece of paper, and bury it in a secret place, or set fire to it. You will have confessed, but nobody will ever know.
you certainly need to talk to someone first - after all what are you gonna own up to ? - I agree, Samaritans, priest or a doctor
it is not often that people have clear memories of the age of 6 that interferes with the rest of their life
