[TwinkleWings]

Title says it all really!

Highest.....meeting my wonderful husband and having two gorgeous kids w him

Lowest...hubby dying ten days after turning 40. He was my soul mate

Lowest point when I left exh and thought fuck I'm alone,it was weird and I felt very vulnerable

Highest point.Meeting,marrying and having my gorgeous son with now dh

Lowest - a while load of shit

Highest - dts being old enough that we can go out and have an awesome fun day out, had one today and it was a proper (Vom) day I will treasure forever. Dt2 even said when she went sleep that she didn't want to grow up. I asked why and she said because she didn't want to stop having fun like we had today.

We were at a community day - paddling/ swimming pools, fairground rides, candy floss, frisbee throwing etc. Cost me about £15. We've spent £££££££ on holidays and this topped it all.

Went to sleep, obvs.

Highest are my children being born, marrying my husband, passing my driving test and making a success of my own business

Low points are my mum and dad dying this year

Lowest - losing my nana and granddad. Highest - watching my kids win science fsirs and public speaking, writing contests etc and encouraging them to achieve things.

Highest, my two little ones.

Lowest, being diagnosed with cancer six weeks after DD was born (been in remission for five years).

Lowest pint, being made redundant from job of 11 years, really enjoyed the job and didn't see the redundancy coming, though in hindsight I should of as there had been redundancies earlier in the year

Highest was meeting dh on 1st day of new job (after redudancy) then marrying him

Lowest- my brother hanging himself and then lingering on in hospital for a week before we shut off the life support then my narcissistic (then bf, now ex husband) systematically convince me I was to blame and that I should follow him to death because it was the right thing to do. The almost rock bottom was him throwing me out of the house 8 months pregnant and sitting on a bridge contemplating jumping because I knew if I waited til my daughter was born she’d end up twisted by his gaslighting. Thankfully I had a panic attack and ended up at a&e. absolute rock bottom was when she was 4 months old. He had me convinced I was worthless and that he was going to take my daughter. I stood in the bathroom with his cocodamol and very nearly took the lot. The next day was my highest point

Highest- I left the prick. My family thought I was going to have a breakdown because I was so happy for so long. I was fine, just so glad to be free 🥳

Lowest was sitting on my bed at 14 years old with various things I could use to kill myself in front of me trying to decide which to use then crying because I was too cowardly to pick one.

I'm very glad I didn't now.

Highest high was holding ds for the first time after he was born

Lowest - having to have an abortion then finding out my partner wouldn't have wanted to keep it even if we could have. He gave no support, never offered to come with me to hospital, never checked if I was ok, then just disappeared out of my life giving zero shits about what could have been.

Highest - finally being able to move away from my abusive mother. Unfortunately this meant marrying a massive twat, but things are on the up now we're divorced.

Highest was dd getting her first certificate at Tumble Tots aged 18 months then her gcses, a level and degree results

Lowest we're discovering husbands affair and becoming a lone parent 4 months later and dd going off to uni and living on my own for the first time in my life

Highest - top first from Oxford

Lowest - having my head smashed in by school bullies

Highest - my children.

Lowest - my nervous breakdown just before I managed to end my horrific marriage. I was very ill for almost a year and had to depend on my abusive ex. I didn't think I would make it and I swore to myself if the day came that I ever felt strong again I would get him out that day and that's exactly what I did.

In a six month period - long term relationship ended, got kicked out of the place I'd lived in for 7 years so landlords daughter could move in, got made redundant from my job - you know sort of everything that defines your life...

Highest

• birth of my third child, the elation, rush of love etc (didn't feel it with my elder 2 but love all equally obviously)
• finally managing to leave my abusive ex
• meeting my dp
• first time I managed to take my eldest 2 DC abroad, just the 3 of us. After working lots of overtime to pay for it.
• lots of times with DC 1 and 2 where we've laughed until we cried
• many times of pure contentment , lying outside looking at the sky, listening to the birds or the sea, watching the clouds etc, just feeling at one with the world (I'm easily pleased )

Lowest

• the police dragging me from the top of a bridge before I could jump (glad they did)
• my ex ruining my chance of the career I wanted
• DC being diagnosed with a lung and heart problem at 20 week scan
• Finding out my then partner had slept with my best friend
• DC1 mental health struggles and the feeling of guilt and helplessness that come with it

I find this stuff really interesting too OP

Highest: Like everyone else: Giving birth, everything great about her life, meeting and marrying my DH, great nights out with my friends.

Lowest: Dad dying. Doing things I'm not proud of. Letting myself down.

Highest - my DS in general. He makes me so happy

Lowest - 2019 has been pretty awful with deaths of my DGM and other things. Cancer sucks

Highest - given birth to my 2 children.

Lowest - suffering a psychotic episode which saw me arrested and then sectioned for a lengthy time.

Highest - as with other PPs, the day I gave birth to my child.

Lowest - death of my father and the resulting financial shite. Years of bad days.

Some horrendous experiences here

High: walking on a beach

Low: death/ near death

Lowest: my grandfather and best friend dying; my ex boyfriend taking my virginity and telling me "I only did it because no one else would have sex with you"; being raped but only realising years later that it actually was rape.

Highest: marrying my soul mate; seeing my son smile for the first time; getting three promotions in a year after having a year off sick from depression; coming off medication for my depression and not falling back in the hole again.

Highest was meeting my husband, getting married and having a baby (then another).
Low point was him dying suddenly seven years later.

Lowest - losing a close family member in an RTA
Highest - it's about now, even though life can be shit hard, I feel like at nearly 40 I'm actually in control of my life. we're planning a relocation, I'm self employed and I'm not shy about getting the best for my (autistic) children.

Lowest - late-DH cancer diangnosis, treatment & death. ExH leaving was pretty bad as well.

Lots of good points, not sure about the highest.
