What was the worst mistake you've ever made?

Question

Seriously people. Think about where you've ended up in life because of that mistake. Do you regret it?

Answer 1

DEFINITELY Regret making the mistake of marriage -- I would have been so much better off IF I NEVER got married in the first place (and I ended up giving up everything to that point in time to just get out of that short disaster of a marriage). What is especially sickening is the FACT that his own family hid his Problems with Violence, Abuse and Mental Illness from everyone including the Police and the Military.

Answer 2

Getting involved with my last boyfriend.
I found out he had been lying about some pretty important stuff and broke up with him. He went from a sweet and quiet guy to a raging psychotic maniac. Lliterally, he stopped taking his Thorazine which I didn't even know he was on. He threatened to kill me and burn down my house (to my face, to mental health workers and to the police) called all my friends, family, coworkers, my employer and all the local businesses in my very small town and left abusive, vulgar and very embarassing messages, snuck around my house at night, vandalized my car, vandalized my house and killed on of my dogs. He spent time in jail for this behavior a couple of times and is now on probation and in a violence program. It's been almost three years since all of this started and I am still extremely cautious and will never feel safe hiking in the hills behind my home or going for walks at night again. I'm very careful just going outside at night because all he has to do is go off his meds and he's a crazy person.
Regret it, you bet. And he wasn't some random guy that I just met and got involved with. He had been my employee for a couple of years and we had been friends for some time after that before we got involved. I still question my abilty to make choices and judgements and my self esteem has only come back on line in the last several months.
Yuck (shudder) just thinking about it gives me the creeps. I think I'll go have some cookies now and think about something good for a while.

Answer 3

Going to school to be an airplane mechanic. I could be driving my own dump truck, making the same money (if not more) that I will working on planes. Drinking beer with my friends every night, blowing my money on junk food and drugs. Instead, I'm hating my life all the way through school. 9 hours of class a day, followed by working a crappy job to pay the bills. When its all over, there will be no parting; that's how people die... What a boring life I'll live...
