How do you stop a tree from falling?

Answer:

I seem to be flying in a grand circle, waiting for landing instructions from the control tower.
This question does not give enough information to answerIf the tree is very old and the roots are coming out of the ground as it tips over,it may not be possible to reposition or right the treeIf it is small enough you can try to enlarge the root whole and pull the tree back into an upright positionIt may not take hold in the new position, but it is worth a tryUnfortunately, trees are very heavy and it may require a crane, or maybe just a heavy truck with a come-along to wratchet it tightly If the tree is small enough, you can wrap it to cushion the bark with a cable or rope to stake into the ground, easing it back toward the corrected positionEvery few weeks, take up the slack in the cable to put a constant pull on the trunk, while being very careful not to abrade the skin of the trunkFrankly, your absolute best way to go is to hire an Arborist to determine if the uprighting is even possibleYou cannot go wrong with that one, and yuo can ask the Arborist to warranty his workIf the tree dies, he should give you a year, then there should be no cost, or he will advise it cannot be doneYou are most likely loosing the tree anywayIt is always possible to remove the unsightly bent over tree and plant a perfectly healthy new one, perhaps with a more aesthetic value, such as with the color of leaves in the fall, or blossoms in the spring, offering a trouble free tree instead of the disturbed oneI always want to save the tree, but if it is too far gone, it can still take years to actually die, and if it is unsightly, that is to be considered.
Living too far away from my partner, and currently no way for either of us to move to where the other is.
that i don't have a good realitonship with my parents :( and that i'm going to have to be making lots of decisions in the near future that will make or break my life, i hate growing up :(
The fact that it is impossible to continue to stay home with my kids - I love to work, but miss out on a lot and have to rely on people to watch them who aren't always dependable.
