Answer 1

When I was a kid and a teenager, I made fun of overweight people. I always wondered why didn't they just lose weight. Then in my early 20's I packed on 80 extra lbs, and then I understood completely. But that was something I never thought would happen to me. Luckily I was able to get it off, and now that I've been overweight I will never make fun of overweight people again.

Answer 2

Mine are all the same as yours with one exception. We never made it to divorce. He died before we got that far. Honestly that is the one thing I never thought would happen to me - that I would be a widow at 47. But now, I have really gotten used to the idea and it isn't so bad. If we had divorced, we would have fought tooth and nail over every knife and fork in the house. He died, so I got everything, including the house he inherited from his parents which I sold because I already had one. So in a way, his death allowed me the freedom to stop working and pursue my writing dream full time -which has been a blast. I like to think of it like the line in the play The Zoo Story by Edward Albee. "Sometimes you have to go a long distance out of your way to come back a short distance correctly." So all the abuse, the drugs, all of it, that was the long distance out of my way. Now I am coming back the short distance correctly. And life is now good. Clean and sober - free of abuse and codependency. Successful. Single mom. Two brand new college degrees. My life is my own. You can overcome it all hon. I did. Pax- C

Answer 3

Yours are very sad, and that makes me very sad for you. I hope your life turns for the better. Find supportive people who will love you for who you are, and whom you can trust. Pray with people, and somehow come to terms with your life. Forgiveness is key, not just towards others, but towards yourself as well.
When I first read this question, I immediately thought of good things, now that I've read your details I'm inclined not to write them. So I'll try a different tactic~an attempt at humor. Maybe I'll put a smile on your face...
1. Marriage~to a man shorter than myself...
2. Nightly ritual~roll over, kick or elbow husband, who then grunts loudly mid snore, after a few more blows to the side, he finally rolls over.
3. Having an epidural~previously terrified of needles, suddenly begging to have a large one stuck in my spine...twice.Two babies.
4. Actually WANTING to be a stay at home mom....when I originally wanted to be a working mother of only two children....now I want 4 or more.
You just never know how life will turn out, what God has in store for you, and how you'll deal with it when it happens~these are all things we all have to deal with every day of our lives. Prayer is always the right answer for any situation and every circumstance.
