To ask which one sentence changed your life?

[broccoliicecream]

I’ll start.

‘My god girl- You’re pregnant.’

Said by a Dr to a 14 year old me.

When I was 19 and pregnant (my parents were gutted) and I remember my dad coming home a bit merry from the pub and he said “you getting pregnant is the best thing that’s happened because I’ve never seen you so happy”

It is one of my favourite memories

"Suicide doesn't end the pain, it just passes it on to someone else" - the reason I am still here

'sorry - we can only find one heartbeat - one of the twins has gone - it is likely the other one will go too' - said to me by my dr. I am happy (and sad at the same time) to tell you all my remaining son was born, healthy (and big - 4kg!) 9 months later. When i look at him, i often wonder if his brother would have been an identical twin.

'hurry come quick, grandpa is not doing well' - i arrived 5 minutes after he died - i didn't have change to pay the cab and he wouldn't let me go without paying so i had to dig around my handbag. I have never forgiven myself since. its been 13 years.

on a happier note;

'I'm moving countries' - said to me to my whole family, they were(and still are) devastated.

'you look beautiful' - said by my then bf (now dh) - no one had ever told me that ever. I was 21. I believed him.

'im pregnant' - when i found out i was expecting our first, then 'I'm pregnant again' when i found out i was expecting again 2 years later with what would have been twins.

Life is a funny old thing isn't it!

Yes I'm seeing someone else. She's prettier, slimmer and better than you. Said by ex on Christmas Eve 2 years ago.

A happier one. I've decided who I want to be my chief bridesmaid, it's you, Hunter. Said by my dsis when she got engaged.

, , and for everyone who has posted sad and happy sentences on here.

One v sad, my Mum to me aged 15 "my cancer is back" she lived 9 days

One happy life changer "there is this run on a Saturday called parkrun" 3.5 stone lighter, no longer obese, hopefully will live longer and it has changed my outlook given me more confidence, I've had a huge promotion at work, I'm happier in my relationship, life is GOOD

I'm still in love with you...

Said by my childhood sweetheart last year after not seeing each other for 13yrs! We now have a beautiful home together and am 32wks pregnant with both of ours first baby

“I’m with mrzoomie now, I’m afraid we’re awaiting the ambulance. He’s in a bad way after being stabbed. Can you get to the hospital?”

He was ok in the end. It was an unprovoked attack as he walked home after a night out. Took about a year to recover from injuries fully. Nobody was ever caught.

"It was god's will. You will understand one day" - said by Christian union teacher when I asked for support in going to the police after being raped

"You are safe, protected and loved" said by my therapist helping me deal with ptsd as a result of the above

A bit of a lighter one...

"Can't they ĺower this bar? It's so fuçking discriminatory !"

First words I said to my now DH. (Context, I'm 4"10 and wore flats that night)

'I love Mummy'. The first time my eldest daughter said it spontaneously.

"A flower has been plucked and planted in another garden"

Said to me by my grandmother when my mum died

So, so many sad sentences on here - mine pales into insignificance by comparison. I’m so sorry.

@YoureAnArseholeDenise - strange how some people are so spectacularly not suited to the role they trained for, isn’t it? Sorry to hear about your lack of care too. I posted on here for advice a couple of years ago and was told unanimously to complain, to prevent someone else having to go through the same if the future. I’m ashamed to say I’m too cowardly to write that letter, because I’m just not ready to open up that box again

'I'm sorry, I can't stay here. I'm going to move to London whilst I'm young and have the chance'

'Will you marry me?'

'It's a girl'

'It's a boy...and he's breathing on his own!'

“I’m so, so sorry but I’ve no other choice”

Said to me by my biological Mum when she left me with my Foster Mum when I was 9 days old.

This is documented in my adoption file.

You are a fantastic mother and I'm so proud of you.

Another one from DP when I was crying when DD was a few weeks old I didn't think I could be a good mother.

'We need your BMI to be under 30 before we can consider you as an egg donor.'

It was the kick up the backside I needed to lose weight in order to be able to do IVF (subsidised as I was also egg sharing, I wouldn't have been able to afford the procedure at full cost.)

I lost the weight, then was very lucky and got pregnant my first try (a good thing, as only 2 embryos developed well enough, and I wouldn't have been able to afford the second round.

I'm fat again now, but I'm working on losing it. I now know that I can do if I try hard enough, and running around after an almost 2 year old is certainly a step up on the ol exercise routine. He's my motivation to be healthier.

to those who have been through tough times.

“There’s no heartbeat” at 12 week scan.
“Everything’s ok” at dd’s 12 week scan a year later.
“It’s a girl” at dd’s 18 week scan.
“I got a 2:1” from ds1 who suffers from anxiety and depression which let me hope things might work out for him
The worst, earlier this year, in a phone call from my dB as we were preparing to leave for the airport to go over to see my very ill df “I’m so sorry, dad’s passed away”.

Get rid of it - my ex when i told him i was pregnant. I now have a 2yo ds... so glad i didnt listen to him

“Look at the fucking state of you, who the fuck would want you”.
Said by my husband 17 years ago, after him coming home and finding me curled up on the floor a gibbering wreck. He had been having an affair with his secretary (oh the cliche)!
Wish I had LTB then. I would have stood a chance of making a life for myself, but having no support from family/no friends where we had moved, like the stupid idiot I am I stayed.

I am now 50, have NO confidence, and feel completely trapped.

You'll never walk again and be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.

They were right, I still can't walk 7 years on

1namechanged please please please ffs leave him. You CAN find somewhere to go, family, friend, passing acquaintance, hostel. Pack your bag and go. You are 50 not 85, you have all your life left to live and you can't live it in his shadow. Please take YOUR life in YOUR hands. Please. Much love x

I love you too

"I love you. I know I'm not supposed to say this yet, but I can't help it. I love you".

DH, four days after we met I was glad he said it first, I'd been wanting to say it to him for a day already.

Some extremely sad stories on this thread. I'm taking them all to my heart and wishing you all well.

“There’s no heartbeat” at 12 week scan.
“Everything’s ok” at dd’s 12 week scan a year later.
“It’s a girl” at dd’s 18 week scan.
“I got a 2:1” from ds1 who suffers from anxiety and depression which let me hope things might work out for him.

The worst, earlier this year, in a phone call from my dB as we were preparing to leave for the airport to go over to see my very ill df “I’m so sorry, dad’s passed away”. I still haven’t got over the fact that I didn’t make it in time.

for so many on here 😢
