This is kind of personal but I think it's important to share. The hardest thing that I have ever done was told someone that I was molested as a child. It wasn't until probably 4 or 5 years after the molesting had stopped but I was just so consumed with hate and anger that I finally told a friend, my physician and then finally my mother. The person who did this to me was a close family relative so I was so worried about what telling would do to my family and felt that if I told I would destroy more then just my life. Well, to make a long story short, the thoughts of this event no longer haunt me. I don't cry as much any more, I am closer with my family, and I am finally engaged to a man I love which before telling I had the hardest time letting anyone get close to me because of fear.
So, I would always encourage anyone who has experienced the same thing, to confide in someone they trust. It will be a difficult process but in the end your life will be so much. I wish the best to anyone suffering like I did. Hang in there!

How can you tell for sure if it was a mistake? Sometimes things do not turn out the way we expect but none-the-less in the long run it might be for the best.
My philosophy is to go after your dreams no matter how hard it is. Sometimes the journey towards a goal is much more rewarding and educating than the goal itself. Anyway mistakes are a part of learning and thus living. Realizing that your initial choices, expectations, desires, ideas were "mistaken" can help you find out what you truly want and need. So even mistakes can be worth doing, as long as you don't repeat them over and over again.
The only way not to make a mistake is not to do anything but then you are not living, are you?

Telling my mother my nephew was dead!! It was worth it because I took my time and led her into it slowly. I told her first that he was in an accident then I told her some of his injuries . It was 3 in the morning and no one else was up to it but she had to be told because the TV people were already filming the scene and it was on the 5 AM news!! It was the hardest thing I have ever done!!

The hardest thing I had to do was write the eulogy for my Grandma's funeral. She passed away from colon cancer and we were there with her when she took her last labored breath. It was horrible...the sound of her attempts to breathe will stay with me forever. She had so much fluid in her lungs that she was basically drowning. It's been a year since she passed away, but it still haunts me.
But, no, I don't think it was a mistake to write her eulogy or be there when she died. She always watched over us throughout our lives, so it was only fitting that we would watch over her at a time she needed us. I'm glad I did it.

The hardest thing that I have done in my life was well worth it and I would never undo what I did. No one can ever know the power that was unleashed in me when I finally did what I needed to do. :)

I moved from Ca. to Ga. I flew out here, and had three weeks. I had to find a home, and a job. I had to get everything ready, then fly back home, pack up and drive out here, in 4 days.
Very hard, and very worth it. Learned more about what I could do in those 25 days.

hardest thing. well emotionally it was very hard. my daughter's wedding was fixed. just 9 days before wedding my mother died. we were not able to postpone the wedding as the bridegroom was going abroad soon after the marriage. so, i did not cancel the wedding thinking that my mother would have felt happy to see her grand daughter getting married. but it was very hard for me to supress my sorrow & attend the wedding.but i feel it was worth. i don't think idid the mistake. i am happy i overcame my sadness & did my duty as a mother.

divorcing a abusive husband after 25 years.... i think i should of did it a lot sooner.. i tried to keep the home together for the kids.. but when one went to prison i gave up.. it is not good to raise children in a abusive home.. now my sons have learned how their dad treats women and i do not get much respect from them even now...it was a very hard lesson to learn and i lost all those wasted years....if anyone reads this i hope they take notice especially if they are in a abusive home.. do not continue to make up excuses for his behavior.. cause your kids can be hurt worse in the long run....
