WHat's the worst thing that has happended in your life?

[flexygrl]

In what way? I use to worry about that shit all the time. Everytime my ex and my daughter got in the car, I would worry that they might get into a wreck. I just have to put that kind of stuff out of my mind now, or I couldn't function properly. My sister and daughter took a trip today in her old car. I can't relax until I know that they made it to their destination safely.

When I was a kid, and my parent went out, I would stay up until they got home. I just had a feeling that something bad would happen to them. I believed that if we were all together nothing bad would happen to us. So far, so good!!

My Mother will be dead 5 years this Sept. The girlfriend thing happened less than two months ago. It's getting alot easier now though. When you really think about it the things in life that hurt the most are things you are without...

I'm so sorry to hear about all of that. It must be rough, but you seem like you are getting through it okay. Good luck with it all.

My dad just sold our van about 3 weeks ago. My mom had been begging him for the past 8 years. I really don't think it even occurred to him that he should have sold it before then.

I will sometimes have dreams about waking up and seeing the guys hat fly off his head in the windshield. Also...there was about a 50ft. long streak of blood under and behind the van from where he had been drug underneath. It was horrible.

Thanks Dear. Believe me when I say my emotional state was the equivalant of the World Trade Center when it all went down. I was mindfucked for a good 3 weeks. So many different emotions it was hard to gauge how I really feel. But now things are looking better and my outlook has changed greatly...

Reading some of these replies makes me really embarrased to tell you mine. I guess I am really, really lucky that nothing horrible has happened to me.

Flexy, it is all relevant... and it isn't necessarily "better" to have experienced some things.

I used to work with a young kid who grew up in Cambodia during the Pol Pot regime (think The Killing Fields.) The Pol Pots killed 1 million of Cambodia's 3 million people. This kid started out with 18 people in his family. He escaped with only his mom and his sister left. The stories he told me were heartbreaking... but oddly enough he still managed to be a happy person.

I play chess every week with a guy called "The Pussy Cat." The Pussy Cat served 40 years in the gulags. There is a running joke at the chess park because one of the other players, Shoma, served 18 years. When you ask them what they did to get their sentences... they both say, "Nothing." We tell The Pussy Cat he has to be a liar 'cuz you only get 18 years for "nothing."

You learn from all your hardships, but sometimes you don't want to lern anymore.

You just about summed it up. I've had alot of fucked up shit happen in my life. I haven't even broken the surface with the few tidbits I've shared. But all in all I consider my life to be very good overall. I'm a happy person because of all that hasn't happened to me. When you realize that the only thing in life that can bring you down is yourself it opens up alot of possibility for yourself. I feel sometimes that all the bad things that have happened to me in my life have never really happened to me, that they were just a figment of my imagination. And sure some things still bother me to this day. But becoming a slave to those thing just isn't an option for me anymore. Keep your head up everyone...
