you obviously don't have to provide too much detail if you don't feel comfortable talking about it.

hmmm... why do you think only women answered this question? i'm aware that women are more emotional than men. but, i didn't think men would completely deny their emotional trials. ... but, now that i think about it, it guess i don't consider all any of the things that i've gone thru as emotional hurdles... they're just rough life experiences. sorry that wasn't an answer to your question... i just found it interesting.

Probably my depression that I've had for most of my life. I didnt have a normal childhood, and it was infact pretty dark. Overcoming those memories are indeed the hardest thing I will ever have to do in order to move on with my life.

Getting over emotional and physical abuse from my father. He shoved me, called me worthless, stupid, won't amount to anything, pulled my hair dragging me on the floor, told me he didn't love me anymore because I was struggling to make Bs and Cs in 7th grade cause I was the youngest in my class so it was because I was very young for my grade. I stayed back a grade and made straight As from then on, and my IQ is actually only one point away from genius. He kicked me out of the house twice when I was an older teen (18, 19) all because he didn't like it that I had a harmless friend and we didn't break any rules. Once he pushed me and I broke my arm. He locked me in my basement room with no bathroom, food, etc, on another occassion because he didn't like my friend. He is and was a militaristic control freak, who had to control me every second of my young life. To this day we don't talk and all I can say is good riddance, I don't need that negativity or reminder in my life.

My father left when I was 2 and my mother almost immediately moved in with a really abusive man. He'd beat us and our mother to the point that we'd pass out. When my mom divorced him she soon moved in with another man, an alcoholic. She would withold food and eat in front of us, letting us have the scraps left over. With 3 kids sharing that it wasn't much. My mom kept the guy drunk and on pain killers so she could steal money from his wallet to buy herself soda pop. She made us steal a few times and then turned me into the police when I was 6 for something she actually stole. When I was 14 my mom started hitting me and calling me names. She eventually kicked me out of the house and destroyed all my clothes, cheer leading uniforms and schoolbooks. I moved in with my grandparents and my mom was always causing trouble with me, trying to fight me, standing outside of my school and yelling things. She and my estranged father eventually gave up the parental rights of me and my brother to my grandparents.
I've forgiven her, but the emotional scars are still there. I feel like more of an adult than she is, since she still acts very juvenile.
It's caused my brother and me years of emotional issues, some we are still dealing with now.

My ex-husband would cheat on me, lie to me, etc and then try to make me think that I was the one just being insecure. I felt like I was going insane and I really didn't want to get divorced, for some reason it was really difficult to leave him. Wow, once I got away from him I realized what a horrible abusive situation I was in and I'm so glad I got out.

Two things in my life ... my baby daughter dying of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and the sexual abuse of two of my four living kids. They both 'still hurt' but I don't let that 'mar me' because I know 'everything turned out for the best' in the end. 'Nuff said?

i was just thinking today that I'm very fortunate not to have had to overcome something worse than a relationship break-up.
i just had someone i know commit suicide. i didn't know him that well, but i feel really bad for his family and can't imagine having to go throw something like that.
