I, Anonymous: Chain Reaction

by Anonymous Steven Weissman
Years ago, you hit me on I-5 north. I was driving an old Honda hatchback. You were in a newer white sedan. You offered to pay with cash instead of going through insurance. I felt guilty for taking the money because the damages were so insignificant, but I was newly married at the time and really struggling. Shortly after that accident, my husband (a veteran who was suffering from severe PTSD and substance abuse) had a complete breakdown.
