What's the most difficult thing you've gone through?

[Iwonder777]

For me, a full on MH breakdown.

Felt like falling into a pit and nearly losing my life. Almost seems like a different persons experience now.

What have you survived? And can't quite believe you made it through.

My DD dying, it destroyed me and I will never be quite the same again.

2 miscarriages and 2 babies in nicu.

My second dd being stillborn at 37 weeks 23 years ago next month.

The murder of my DH.

My newborn premature son on A vent with a bleed on his brain and sepsis while I was awaiting brain surgery and just to top it off finding out his dad was cheating on me all in the same few weeks now just thought of it makes me sweat but at the time I had calmness about me...

Life, but things are looking up .

to all xx

Fucking hell ... 💐 to everyone. You never know what life has in store round the corner. What strong women all of you are.

Just reading these replies and i also want to send my love to you all, certainly puts my little life niggles into perspective, hugs to you all, you’re incredible

Warrior women we are.

My later childhood and teen years. Incest and a family church friend sexual abuse. And then I fell prey to a very very bad man who groomed me and used me for seven years in the way you read about with grooming gangs. Included a pregnancy at 14.
The worst bit wasn’t the hundreds of rapes or even abuse at the hands of people I know, that’s taken years of therapy but I am at peace with it. The worst bit is that my parents are lovely. They are upstanding members of society. We had money and plenty of love. But due to their own damage and issues they failed to protect me or equip me with the tools I needed to protect myself. They blamed me and shamed me and abandoned me and betrayed me. That’s the worst bit. I can’t even hate them because they are such lovely people. It makes me not want to trust anyone because it’s not monsters doing these things, it’s people who seem to be so nice in every other way.

My life is good now. I like the description a pp used about feeling reincarnated. I have a wonderful husband and three children and we are moving to the seaside soon. I Am privileged, I can spend my time healing and in therapy as I am not working right now. Life is good and also very very painful living with the reality of my parents and my past.
