A year ago today, my then DP of 4 years told me I was pathetic for crying when I had a very early miscarriage. I left soon after but it hurt me in a way I can’t really remember now but know at the time I was flooded with pain by his comment.

A friend of mine had just finalised her divorce and we had gone for a girl lunch with three others. One of our friends said ‘what’s it like being back on the shelf and knowing you won’t be coming back down?’ Friend was 35 at the time, she was so upset.

Just got me thinking how awful people can be sometimes. I think it says a lot more about them and how they are feeling than the person the comments are directed at. Still shocking and shit though!

I have 2

An ex colleague found out that my Dad was ill and dying, so asked me in to a meeting room for a chat. Her Dad had recently died, so I thought she had some advice on how to get through the situation. Instead she told me I had made the whole thing up and I was a terrible attention seeker. My Dad died that evening. She never liked me, but that comment was very low.

I had a miscarriage and my Mum told me I was selfish for being upset and it was worse for her. My MIL however was amazing, I will never forget the difference in their reactions.

Omg. I'm so sorry. What an evil bitch. Violence may be frowned upon but I would have had a very violent episode I'm afraid.
