Hey Pandas, What's A Moment That Changed Your Life Forever?

The shooting at my local elementary school. It taught me that life is often unfair, people are cruel, and small towns are not immune to tragedies. And Alex Jones is a horrible, pathetic excuse of a man.

About two years ago I was at the lowest point in my life. I couldn't handle myself anymore and used lots of alcohol, pills and drugs. I met the most fcked up crazy dude ever one night. He was a criminal, in a relationship with rich women double his age and planning to marry her for obvious reasons . We had some weird kind of connection. He planned to party with me for a while then cut me off. But he didn't. His girlfriend found out kicked him out, wanted him back, bought a house and planned to get pregnant to keep him. That didn't work out and shortly after were right back together.
Two month after I got pregnant. Since that I'm sober and got grip my life which was a tough act for me . Now we are married and have a beautiful baby.

That moment we met three life's were about to flip upside down. I know we are not good people. And I am actually really sorry for what we did to his ex girlfriend and I hope she is with someone who treats her better.

The thing that changed my life was when I was 16 years old I found out I was pregnant. My boyfriend and I welcomed a baby boy at the age of 17. As any patent would be upset or mothers were both upset. We both thought how are we going to do this. I was on home bound for a month after delivery. Went back to school. It was so hard, luckily though we upset our parents they still helped us. My mother watched baby while we attended school. MIL made sure we got to school each day, no excuses. We graduated High school. Then we both applied to college got into school. We both (boyfriend and I) graduated with Associates Degrees in Human services. By the time we graduated college or son was 4 years old. Being that we were still young no vehicle of our own we took community transportation to and from school. 6 am to 6pm. Few years later we both graduated with BS DEGREES in Education mine in Early Childhood, his in Elementary, long story short we ate Mid-school sweethearts, now with 3 littles added to thr family. Having a kids at a young age changed how I looked at life, having too grow up fast, missing out on certain things, becoming responsible for another human being. Providing for him. I would not change anything. In my other posts he is referred to as 15yr.old family artist.

Two years ago three of my adult kids teamed up and gutted me with the information that I had ruined one daughter's life by telling people she had stolen money from me. She said four people had rushed to tell her I had said that. I understand that abusive parents often forget mean things they've done or said, but I don't remember this, and she was never one I had thought would steal from anyone, ever. They won't discuss it so I don't know when this happened, or why anyone would rush to tell someone hurtful things, and I have not recovered my emotional stability yet. I've apologized, which wasn't received well anyhow, and I try to not push myself on them, which means I have no idea what's going on with them or grandkids; most of the people I love most in the world. Thanks for letting me vent this. I do not understand and it's hard to learn people you loved have never liked you back. (I'm like, geez, hate me for stuff I did wrong that I do remember, you know?) There's something behind all the secrecy about it though. Why not clarify it? And yes I will always still love them.
