This happened on "The happiest day of my life" MY WEDDING DAY.
After the wedding ceremony was over, my mother who is flesh and blood. Went to give me a hug, she leaned foward and whisper:
"You have no idea of the hell you just got yourself into."
Ever since then, I have spoken to her maybe five times. And after that happened, on the day of my wedding I stopped talking to my own mother.

"Stop wallowing in self pity" - said to me by two so-called "friends" - both smugly married - in a therapy group just after my first husband had left me for another woman. It was a totally unwarranted, too, because I was actually coping extremely well. I wasn't crying or getting hysterical or anything, just chatting normally. All I had said was that I was feeling hurt and lonely. Pretty normal under the circumstances, I would have thought?!
We had been married ten years. At the time his leaving was a complete and utter shock but I later learned that he had been a serial adulterer during the last few years of our marriage.
Amazing that, 21 years later and 7 years happily re-married, thinking about this can still make me feel so very angry. I am shaking as I type this and my heart is pounding. I can still see those women's smug faces and just wish now that I had assertively told them how completely out of order they were being. I think that the anger is at myself rather than them - because I know now that the problem was in their attitudes and I'm angry I didn't say that to them at the time!

As i have mentioned before i am Agoraphobic and someone who has a very sharp tongue told me i just got what i deserve. It really hurt because i dont think anyone deserves to be stuck in a house for 5 years. Another thing was it did not matter where we moved once we have moved out of the area i would always meet up with someone who would then told me someone had told them that i messed around with their husbands. I have never ever messed around and that just made me feel sooo unhappy.

I spent 3 years at high school being called Dog - not a pleasant experience - it stopped over a six month period and there were a lot of bruised balls - I finally got really angry with the boys involved and at the start of third year I started to lose my temper with them. Its only the second time I lost my temper properly - the first time I sent a boy in my primary 5 class to hospital to get stitches near his eye - I was getting taunted because his mum had seen my mum in Oxfam buying me a skirt for school (we were fairly poor at the time nothing to be ashamed of). Needless to say his reign of terror came to an end when word got round that a girl beat him up. I must have had 'bully me' tattooed on my heat until I was 14 cause it all stopped then.

For me, it was what a former friend said to me after she had her first baby. She would brag about her daughter nonstop and constantly pity me. Every time I tried to tell her about what I had done with myself, she would invariably say, "The best accomplishment any woman can do is to create a human life." At one point, she told me, "You're just not a complete woman until you have a baby. I feel so bad for you. Let me know when you have children." The way she said everything made me feel inadequate and like a complete loser. I haven't spoken to her since.

I have four children, but my eldest daughter (12) has just shouted at me because she was fighting with her brother (10) and I tried to stop them. She shouted, "I never wanted to live with you anyway." It was only ten minutes ago and I'm letting the situation cool down for a few minutes before I go to talk to her.
This is my weak spot - I'm quite sensative. If someone I didn't care about said something I wouldn't get so upset.

Wow..After interpreting those variety of solutions, i think extremely fortunate and grateful for the mum and dad i have been given. they have by no potential reported something hurtful or mean to me. i think extremely sorry for a number of the failings that were reported to three of you. that is unhappy that someone might want to assert that to their toddler. And Nicole F, i think highly undesirable for you. How might want to she call you those issues at 5 and 9? that is purely unlucky to hearken to that some mum and dad flow that far in what they say to their personal little ones.

someone put me down as a mother. thats my weak spot and they hit me right where it hurts. and after they saw it hurt me they tried to justify what they had just said by saying ahhh sorry i didnt mean it TOO LATE!! im a sensitive soul anyway so the people i know tend to tread carefully.

Someone once told me i was ugly...which wouldn't bother me if i didn't suffer from BDS (body dismorphic syndrome)
And when my dad told me that everyone favours my brother cuz he's got a better personality! Can you believe that? Is it just me or was that really harsh?

Woooo..any number of things. What comes to mind though is the same day I learned my father had died (suddenly) - I called my then boyfriend sobbing to tell him that my father had died. He said "Well, we all have to go sometime".
