What was the hardest time in your life?

I got divorced in 06 and lived on the streets for a few months,then in a homeless shelter for three yrs while I got my life back together.Currently I am working for the VA in NM.Each day is easier.I work and pay my bills now and am so happy and blessed to have a job and a place to sleep.Without Gods help none of this would be possible.

Wow thats really inspiring

Thank you Livi

My senior year in high school really messed me up in multiple ways

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you have managed too overcome it though :)

I've come to terms with it... best thing I can do

I believe things happen to us all for a reason, whatever does not kill us only makes us stronger :)

Mainly 2nd grade through freshman year. Sixth and 7th grade years were the worst. Pure misery.

yes kids can be cruel :(

my parents think staying together for the kids is a good idea.

Im sorry things aren't working out for you. but I guess it's at least a good thing you can still live with both your parents, and are financially better off than if they were divorced :)

its like i only live with my mom though. my dad gets home from work, goes to sleep and on the weekends, he sleeps. i dont even care if i have to go live with my mema, it'd be better than the fighting.

That is tough. I'm lucky that my parents always stayed married and, never fought in front of us as kids, even though they went through many rough patches. The main drama in our home was sibling fights which put a strain on their marriage, that was a living hell at times. But they stuck together and worked through it and are happy now. Try and have hope that things can and will work out over time. My parents wanted to divorce numerous times but stayed together and are happily married now. Nearly all marriages are salvageable if your parents are strong and remember the marriage vows "for better or worse". Divorce is much messier and much more painful than sticking through the rough times

I'm sorry to hear that.. I hope things do work out for you in the end

its ok (: thank you (:

My parents never fought in front of us. My brother and I had plenty of right out fights. Now that we are way older I see my dad get mad about things. My mother is very mellow and soft spoken. Married 54 years.

last 2 years been living in a bush, physically the hardest cuz i never sleep, i barely eat im always moving and fights happen alot plus i smoke and drink alot on the streets, not much els to do, emotioinaly cuz i lost all my old friends all my famly and every material thing iv ever been attatched to, my brother left 2 the army and i didnt get a chance to say goodby, my other brother im not aloud to see and he doesnt even know my name cuz hes only 3 and i havnt been there since he was 1. i went from the spoiled rich boy pampared life never even cussed to the street life, took alot of adjusting for a while, and financially... do i need to explain, im obviously broke as all hell.

Wow my heart goes out to you! I hope you manage to fight through it and sort things out.. Must have been a real slap in the face to experience such a drastic change in lifestyle!

yea but it made me a better person and taught me alot.

Well that's really good. I believe pain exists to teach us lessons and enable us to develop our souls and grow. It's good you can appreciate the positive value of what you have been through. Wish you all the best for your future!

i totaly agree, and thank you :)

The first few years of my parents divorce.. It was a complete hell.

Divorces are horrible for the children.. :(

Jr high, I was so incredibly depressed there wasn't an hour that passed by that I didn't seriously try/thought about committing suicide.

Im so sorry for you, but thankfully you got through it and are here with us today :)

Yes, I decided I was being too selfish and it would be better to put all the negatives to the back of my head to forget.
