about 5 years ago I had a miscarriage, a few weeks after that I was beat up by the guy that would have been the father. Shortly after that I was raped by some people that were suppose to give me a ride home and left in a town that i didn't know how to get around in. I thought for awhile that I would go crazy. But as time goes on I got up up I got dressed i went to work i did everything someone does in a normal day. It wasn't easy but day by day I got stronger. I came to realize that i made it through the toughest part of my life and now I could make it through anything, anything. It also gave me a chance to reevaluate my life decide what was important what wasn't and what control I had on my life. I learned that often we can't control the things we would like, but can influence some of the things that happen to us. Happiness isn't the absence of conflict but learning how to deal with it.

My son is a drug addict. My deepest sorrow is that I should have been harder on him growing up and I should have pulled in the reigns with regard to who his friends were and channeled his energy into positive things. It's too late now to change what has happened, but I can change how I am today toward his addiction and his friends - they aren't friends at all. I was too soft and I'm still too soft, not only on my son but in many ways. Sometimes you do have to be cruel to be kind.

Lost love, and I never coped with it. Never let them grow, they consume your whole life. Find some way to release your sorrows.

Believe it or not... the death of my Great Aunt's dog. I grew up with her. The summer before she died, she must have known it was going to happen... each year we go up for a family reunion, and each year I would try to pick her up and she would bite me. But that year, she not only didn't bite me, but she wanted me to pick her up. And she had to have a shot daily and would normally bite, or fuss with the person holding her while my great aunt gave her the shot, I held her once while she was getting her shot, and she just sat there, and shaked, leaning into me, and she even licked my hand. I miss her so much... I am starting to cry thinking about it. Anyways, I coped with it by crying my heart out, and keeping my memories with her close to me.
*Miss you Tinkerbell!*

It was my divorce. I coped with it well because I went for counseling, leaned on my faith and has some support from a few friends. I'm not saying it was easy, the contrary, it was very difficult.

When I found out my son molested my daughter. I dealt with it ok at first--my only concern was their welfare. I got them both in counseling and they are both alright now--my son did it once when he was 12 because he had viewed porn at school. my daughter has dealt with it very well and has moved on. After I was sure they were ok I fell apart. I am now on depression meds and dealing with life day to day. I see a counseler weekly to help me work it out.
