hi. Yeah there´s nothing more complicated or complex as the ties between family members. And yeah, our parents are all but human just like us but with age I´ve come to appreciate that somehow. Thanks for sharing

You sounds like a good person.
Know why? Because you CARED that you didn't go out there. You challenged yourself for not doing something.
What happened - and you not rushing to help, is not your fault. We are conditioned from a young age, that there are dangerous people out there, and kind people are taken advantage of. We are socialised to believe in 'helping others' but this is drowned out by the contradiction of 'don't trust strangers'.
You were scared of the people, unconsciously. Despite your kind soul, you were reluctant because we internalise social control.
It's not you. It's society that should feel guilty. And the fact that you questioned yourself, and learnt from the experience, shows you are a truely generous heart.
