Worst one thing in your life?

Mine was when my dad left me when I was 10 years old and I never heard from him again.

That is horrible I'm so sorry that happened to you. I was molested at 8 yrs old.

I'd have to say the worst thing in my life was when my parents divorced. I was 8 years old, my father was having an affair, and when they divorced he and I were basically estranged. I had adored him prior to that, but I had to let him go. My life was rocky ever after that time. His abandonment really messed me up. I'm 51 and still have very dysfunctional relationships with men.

*hugs* all above. I feel fortunate in many ways.

Living in a broken family.

This past year my sister and mother are speaking again after over ten years of silence. It feels like waking up and finding out the dream you had was real. I am so very frightened, but even if it breaks apart... with no blame to either, I understand their pain... I am happy to have had these moments, I love them both and I want them to have each other. I think it will be ok.

When I really think about it there is no specific stand out incident for me. Abuse and neglect have just been the standard.

Of course there is the occasional escalation but none that really stands out against the others.

Being molested by my older brother as a child.

Being beaten to a pulp by a man who claimed to love me.

My beloved eldest brother being murdered.

My dad dying shortly after ^ that.

Sorry, couldn't narrow it down to 1, they're equally worse things for me...

I could recall specific incidents but for me it's the lack of general interest/care others have for me. I feel like I don't really exist.

The worst thing was also the best in some ways...

My oldest sister stole $180,000 from me while I was in a psych hospital for three months due to SU attempts, SI, well really a bunch of extreme BPD stuff really. She was the trustee to my trust fund. My parents gave all of us girls (4) some money in a trust fund. She used up hers and went after mine. She would write a check to the hospital and then one to me which she would keep, forge my name, and then cash it. I think she thought I would kill myself and she'd get away with it. I began to take steps to sue her etc but I scrapped that when my mom got very ill. I was the only one around to take care of her so I just gave up one day. I gave up in more ways than one which is when I took tons of downers and alcohol just before my appointment with my T. He walked me out the door, across the street, and to the psych ward in the hospital. Shortly after that my mom took a turn for the worse and finally died one floor below me in the hospital while I was locked up and on 24hr watch.

So how was this good? Well if she hadn't stolen that money I may have self destructed after my mom's death instead of having to get a job because I was running out of money. As I've said before, my job and my T saved my life.

It's very hard for me to narrow my bad things down to 1 absolute worst thing. Several incidents-SA, EA, PA occurred throughout my life. My short kidnapping would also be a really good one to erase from my memory of life.

Worst thing in my life was being the victim of domestic violence and having to fight for my life.

to everyone above and just letting you know that I have read what you wrote.
