Today at the circus I was very emotional watching my niece enjoy the show and clap along. Then as the performers were singing Christmas songs at the end I released that they probably wouldn’t be seeing their family this year as the shows go on till Christmas Day. I just started weeping. Luckily it was fairly dark.
What was the last thing that made you cry?

@EarringsandLipstick I hope it happens for you too. After all these years I’m beginning to think that it’s the only thing that really matters ❤️

There is an advert can't remember what for with the music to the film up and the grandpa/dad has lost his wife and the family make a video? Of his late wife and looks as if she is still with them,broke my heart as I lost my lovely mum in January

The exit poll, and a few more times on Friday. I wasn’t expecting great things but when the graphic came up it was like a punch in the stomach Sad, I think I just realised that after 3 1/2 years the end of the road had been reached and we are leaving the EU, no more chances and no more hope.

Before that I think it was when dd1 left primary in July, I cried for about a week Blush

Similar to @Punxsutawney - DS has been excluded from school yet again. He's 7. Someone just suggested sending him to boarding school.

EvilHerbivore · 16/12/2019 20:24

@WhatAMum01 I'm sorry, that sounds a really hard situation Thanks

And Thanks for everyone else too

EarringsandLipstick · 16/12/2019 20:24

God some of these are 💔 @WhatAMum01 that's so sad, for you all. You're doing the very best you can

PhilomenaChristmasPie · 16/12/2019 20:26

workshyfop it can still happen. It's happening to me now at 52. Early days yet, but we'll see how it goes.

OldSpeclkledHen · 16/12/2019 20:27

Saturday. When the palliative care nurse phoned about my DM, and I had to phone my boss.

hotstepper4 · 16/12/2019 20:27

whatamum01 that's so heartbreaking to read, I'm so sorry. Could it be his ears?

I cried last night after ds age 9 went to exhs house. We split contact 40/60 to him, I'd love 50/50 but ex refuses as he wants me to pay I him maintenance. I love my ds so much but when I left my emotionally abusive, controlling ex 6 years ago I was technically homeless and dealing with pretty severe mh issues. Over the years I've built up a steady contact schedule with my beautiful ds but it never seems enough. I hate myself for ever thinking that my boy would be better off with that man than me.

PhilomenaChristmasPie wishing you all the best. I hope it works out 🤞

hungryHenry10 · 16/12/2019 20:31

Doing the night feed last night and thinking how sad it is that my mum won't meet my new little chap (she passed away 3 years ago) he's almost 4 weeks but I think the reality hit me around 4am this morning when thinking about Christmas and what I still have to do and who I need to buy for.

TeddyBeans · 16/12/2019 20:32

Most recently welled up at my class' first Nativity rehearsal
Last full on sob was probably about 2 months ago and that was the last time I cried about my ex walking out on me and our son

wlv12 · 16/12/2019 20:32

My husband made me cry today.
He’s not feeling well and always talks to me in the most vile tone when he’s ill. He spoke to me horribly and I cried because I don’t deserve it and through anger.

MrsHaversham · 16/12/2019 20:34

I heard Starman on an advert and cried because David Bowie is dead.
I saw a fleece jacket on a fence that somebody had dropped and ! worried about whoever had lost it being cold.

I am suffering low mood at the moment though!

BringMeTea · 16/12/2019 20:34

Hearing Wham Last Christmas. I just still can't believe George Michael is gone.

ohohohmerrychristmas · 16/12/2019 20:38

Walking into the theatre on Saturday night .

I’ve hardly left the house all year due to severe agoraphobia . On Saturday night I went to the shops, the panto and then stayed over in the hotel . I had an absolute ball . I was sobbing when we walked into the panto as I was starting to think I was permanently housebound .

hungryHenry10 · 16/12/2019 20:39

But then I read whatamum01s and hotsteppers posts and now I think suck it up buttercup my tears were quite trivial compared to you guys. I hope he gets better soon and Hotstepper I hope you get to spend some extra special time with your little one over the holiday period. Reading posts like those defo puts life in to perspective and makes you realise actually my situation is not that bad after all. Wishing you both a happy 2020

LikeSilver · 16/12/2019 20:41

The election result.

I also cried at Sophie and Peter on last week’s Gogglebox, crying at The Crown, and talking about what they mean to each other as siblings. I have a DD and a DS and I will be made up if they are as close as that in the future.

Stereomum and everyone else going through hard times Flowers Brew

Lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 16/12/2019 20:45

Some of these are so heartbreaking and moving they are making me cry.

I don't normally cry that much but weirdly 2 thugs have today. The first was listening to the radio this morning about a man in Brighton whose son was still born. He set up a football team in Brighton for dads who had experienced the same thing so that they could all support each other, and talk to each about what they were going through. There are now 40 of them and his friend nominated him for an award. It was so moving.

Then Not so lovely got a really horrible email from one on my clients who had got the wrong end of the stick about something. I work really hard for that client and bend over backwards for them. I promptly burst into tears. Thankfully I was wfh .

LilyJade · 16/12/2019 20:46

The other day being reminded of my lost career before I had my breakdown.

My son chose ‘Badger’s parting gift’ for me to read at bedtime this evening. Thanks son 😢

OceanSunFish · 16/12/2019 20:52

Reading The Siege a few months ago. Incredibly realistic portrayal of slow starvation.
