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.

Come back in, quick, I think he is taking his last breath...
Nurse to me and my sister's about my dad.

You stupid fucking tramp...

My lovely mother

I love you mammy...

My babies to me, every day

So many of these here made my heart skip a bit

“I don’t think I can do this anymore” ExH to my question if there was something the matter. The moment he said it, I saw he had that dead behind the eyes look when looking at me and I knew it was over. Seemed like the end of the world then and so right today.

“There is no heartbeat” At scan triggered by spotting at 11 weeks, few days before my 12 week scan was due.

“I can see a lovely strong heartbeat” At a 7 week private scan i wanted on the second pregnancy as I just would not accept I was pregnant after the first loss. I cried so much I couldn’t speak for several minutes.

"I don't care about you at all." Said by my now exH when I found out about the OW.

"It's either a language disorder or an autistic spectrum disorder." said by the paediatrician when DS2 was just 3. It was ASD and he's now 18 with 10 GCSEs and halfway through his level 3 BTEC.

"Tell your mum i'm not coming home, i've taken my things and i'm leaving her". Phone call from my dad after school one afternoon, Mum was out looking for him thinking he'd had an accident. She was heavily pregnant too, and he'd left for a younger model. I was 13.

"Your baby is dead. Do you want to see the monitor?"
Scan at 26 weeks after baby had stopped moving. My darling boy.

I have another, more positive one. Someone very wise once told me that sometimes you just have to accept that there isn't going to be a happy ending. It really helped me to stop trying so desperately to make my family like me, when it's quite clear that I'm never going to measure up.

I'm afraid she was murdered.

"We never wanted you in the first place" - my father when I was aged nine

"We don't need you in the family" - my exMIL when we'd been married over 30 years

seekingmumfriends

"Don't wait for a right time, no time is ever right"

Whats the longest sentence but also the shortest?.

I do!.

She has died. - my sister telling on the phone from overseas that my mum is gone.

Don't look at me like this, I am not going to change my mind. - my beloved ex that broke my heart, told me when I was still desperate to get him back.

And now think whether you really need such a man. - my best friend's simple words that helped me leave the aforementioned ex firmly in the past

"She'll be worth it in the end - if you really wanted her."
Paediatrician upon telling us that our PFB daughter was suffering from a very rare genetic syndrome that would leave her profoundly disabled for life.
Devastated doesn't really cover it but he was was dead right.

Gosh this thread has stirred up lots of emotions for me. I've lots of bad ones still ringing in my head from years ago. However, the loudest one is from my Dad.
"you are capable of achieving anything you put your mind to"

'Goodbye David' My father's last words. None of us is called David and we still don't know what he was on about. It did make his passing a tragic comedy with a lot of snorting with laughter as we cried at the same time.

'I know I'm not her father but I really do love her' My Step dad of some 20 years and a jolly decent fellow. I am extremely fond of him and will one day build him a Grandpa annexe so we can look after him in his old age.

Meow34 Glad to see you are still around and not a sad statistic.

ginswinger At the end my Gran was off her face on diamorphine and I sat by her bed acting out a variety of people for her.

My life changing sentence was 'I'm afraid its not repetitive strain injury', then I got my diagnosis.

Another from me. As a child, coming home from school to find relatives in the house and DM in bed.

"I'm afraid your Daddy has had a heart attack and died".

And on the other end of the scale. After all my losses.

"Hello Momma"

"I don't like percentages but he has a 20% chance of survival" Said to me by the consultant on the19th March 2013, about 49 year old DH who had sepsis, on DS1's 11th birthday.

He survived!
