Does anyone else have incredibly bad luck?

I've had some horrible luck for the last few years. It's been so bad that I need to file at least 3 different lawsuits because of all the horrible things that happened to me. Sometimes life just kicks you in the teeth so much that it's comical. It's unbearably frustrating because most of the time when you face an injustice, no one cares and they don't help. Also, people try to shame you for being in a situation when it's not even your fault.

I am sorry you are struggling. If you don't mind telling what exact things happened and what people think you could do to avoid it?

I've been living in a horrible apartment complex for the past few years. Me and my mother have a horrible relationship. Her husband is a drug addict that's stolen and gotten violent with me multiple times. There are crooked "police officers" that work there and have protected this guy at all costs. Last year, he threw an object at me and I called security to the apartment. When I fought back the security guard claimed he was a cop and tried to get charges pressed on me. Mind you, when he entered the apartment he was complacent and didn't ask me if I wanted to press charges.

These people are insane. I'm a young woman who's working and stays out of trouble. My mom's husband is a squatter who isn't even on the lease...and they never did anything to stop him. Everyone always tries to ask ME what I'm doing with my life when this guy is in his late fourties doing illegal stuff. Every time I've dealt with the cops they've acted like the scum of the earth. I don't know how I've gotten through all this alone. I've had no luck in finding my own place after a very long time trying.

I've experienced a lot of tragedy. I've faced many deaths in my family, some shocking and sudden, some with prolonged illness. My only living family member is my brother. I'm guessing he's alive...I have no idea where he is.

I hope things improve soon for you.

You sound very strong. Thank you, I wish the same for you as well.

Oh loads of bad luck over the past 6 years.

My druggie ex became abusive, which lead to a traumatic breakup with a side of stalking just for fun.

My eldest brother was murdered a few months later which lead to my father having a fatal heart attack. Then my mental health went haywire, and I was also in and out of work (bad for a single mother)... then my brother nearly died in a motorcycle accident, my mother was dxd with cancer, just as my therapist abruptly left the practice and my bf went to work abroad. A month ago my best friend actually did die in a motorcycle accident and now my brother just survived another accident a week ago.


So yep, I feel you, sometimes I wonder if I'm cursed.


Take it day by day, it just has to get better. I demand it does

within the past five years i have been placed inpatient against my will, not even five months later my grandmother suddenly and painfully died from colon cancer that was left untreated (nobody knew she had it til the very end because she never went to a doctor), all the while i was being bullied in school, early 2013 a close friend of my mother's died then later one of my cats of only 3 years died, 2014 i dropped out of school unable to take the bullying anymore, in june 14 my mom was diagnosed with lung AND liver cancer, later that year my dad cheated on my mom with none other than my mom's sister, because of this i no longer get to see my little cousin who would now be 7 years old so it is almost like she and my aunt died as well; 2015, my dad became abusive of my mom, i had to break up fights, yelling every nights, lots of alcohol (they are both alcoholics). feb that year it was revealed my dad had been on multiple dating sites for months talking to other women, i don't even want to go into the particular fight that happened as a result of that. well he finally stopped being physically abusive to my mom around a year ago but still sometimes yells awful things, i remember once he said he hoped i'd die, i'll never get over that one, almost gave him his wish, almost killed him instead. i've developed an eating disorder that i think might be ednos but i can't get help even if i wanted to because i'm fat, i'd be laughed out of every dr.s office in america if i were to be open about my struggles. earlier this year i fell in love for the first time, it was an online relationship. we talked every day for four months and i was the happiest i'd been in years, until he suddenly broke up with me the first of june. turns out there is such a thing as too fat for love, who knew? obviously this had fueled my eating disorder further. now here i am 3 months later, haven't been back to school, don't have a job of any kind, depressed as ever, lonely as ever, never go out because my past has made me scared of people, and by the way i am only going on 20.

i can't wait to see what the rest of my life will bring!!

Sorry to here that you are going through tough times. Life is not easy at times and not fair at all. Sometimes issues seem like they're never-ending and the situation that you're in seems difficult to deal with. I wish I had answers or solutions to your issue.

It seems to me that whenever I get ahead I am hit by another disaster. One step ahead two steps backwards sort of thing. It leaves me in a constant state of apprehension not to mention I am often in the situation of trying to look for the negative hiding in positive situations.

My problems sound so trivial when I read you guys. Just the fact that you're fighting and not giving up is amazing... I strongly hope that the good wins in the end!

Yes I've had unimaginable bad luck in this life. Went to get help from a T and he screwed me royally. I've also experienced corrupt "police" who protect their own at all costs. It is unbelievable the lengths with which they will go to protect someone who acts "cutesy". The person learned how to perfect their manipulation from MY VERY OWN THERAPIST!! He actually TEACHES MANIPULATION!!

Does he really believe manipulating people is the answer? Poor guy doesn't know what is real anymore. How could he know when he's so busy planning his next maneuver and covering up the last? Maybe that's why he can't sleep. A guilty conscience will do that. He may try to suppress it but believe me guilt will do a number on him.

It seems like you can truly relate to my situation. If you don't mind me asking, how have you coped? Is legal action an option?

Seems like things go wrong for me, too, one after the other.
My roommate and I just survived a move due to displacement by our landlord last June. No one helped, except my uncle (he was the least person I expected to help!). Even housing agencies and this church agency only laughed at me cause I was "not in touch with reality" (having a down moment!). I was the one who ended up finding us an apt from an online ad site, after looking nonstop all summer long (June til August) August was our deadline to get out. I also talked to the owner and that kept them from getting legal with us for being late getting out.
This from me, the "mental case"! When no one stepped in and helped. After we found our new place, my uncle finally drove down and helped us move.
Then I lost my health insurance because my father died.
I am still exhausted.
So is my roommate.
We are hanging and wondering what will happen next.
What helps me is knowing that little right things happen, too. I can't believe my uncle helped and now we are friends.

I wasn't going to answer this but now I will and I can tell you that I actually do. It's so aggravating. Sometimes I try to find a way around things and think I have the answer. I'll do My research and it backfires. If I went about it differently that would've backfired as well. It's insane but what else can I do about it.

Albert King sang it best.

Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

You're not alone as far as bad luck is concerned.

Best wishes to you.
