What were the most difficult years of your life?

The most difficult years are those when you look upon yourself and discover that you hurt the ones you loved, the most difficult times are those when you learn nothing, but sink more into the abyss of abnormality and oblivion, showing no mercy to yourself and to your loved ones...\nThe good years are when you can take a deep breath, without feeling a slight pain or feel sorry for it... :)

For me, it was when a friend of mine offered to push me around an amusement park in a wheelchair, just so I could go. I was 38 years old at the time and had disability come at the age of 34. I have a hard time accepting it. Anyway, I was going to stay home and not go on the field trip with our kids because I knew that I could not walk it. She offered, and then per-swayed me to go. We hung out all day and had a great time. She was totally unselfish in her act of kindness. She enjoyed my friendship enough to inconvenience herself. It meant the world to me.

I was a bit cruel to others when I was in high school, and I drank alot then too, hung out with the wrong kids, and did not apply myself to my studies.\n\nIn life, I cheated on my ex wife, Its been 6 year, and I still regret it.  It has cost me everything I have desired in life.

Yeah it was hard. It also depended if you were a slave or if you had money. Slaves obviously had it worse that people with money. There was plenty of disease thats for sure.

My growing-up years was a hard one and I’m always trying to be strong and carry on.\nMy Dad made little money and he didn’t treat my mum very well and they often quarreled since I was 3 or 4 years old. That was all the fault of my dad I was clear. My mum wept very often hiding from me but I knew that most of the time. She never thought of getting divorce with Dad forshe \nendured to avoid leaving me growing in a broken family. All those made a very miserable childhood for me. And hard time came when I was about 18 and got good grades ready to enter the gate of college. Dad barely make money and I need it to pay the tuition. During the 4 years of my \ncollege time ,my mom worked very hard for the whole family and I also did part time jobs as a tutor ,a translator and sometimes also waitress. And in the third year of my college ,my ex-boyfriend, my first love, who \nhad been with me for 7 years and stayed in New York for 5 years left me.Suffering all those, I also \nthought that God hated me and wanted to desert me and that almostpushed me to commit suicide.\nBut now I manage to lead a happy life because I'm convinced that those sufferings are good for my character and they broaden view of human inner world. Now i become optimistic and get a better understanding of 'love' to love the world and people more

i don't think life is very difficult. life is interesting to some people especiall to those who have optimistics opinion. to them life is joyful and fullfilled happy and friendly. everyone have the same hours and days and months and years, but they have the very different feeling or emotion. why? why so different? the answer may be rested on they have the different opinion or idea. you might change your stand and look things or life again, that may be some what change. \ngood luck.

Hard.  You constantly felt inferior to kids around you with nicer things and families that were there for them.  It was hardest around holidays and when I wanted to do extra curriculars but had no transportation.  Living with other orphans is hard cause some of them are pretty mean but people have been mean to them their whole lifes.\n\n  It was challenging in high school at 16 trying to work full time, maintain an apppartment, and finish high school.  College was like pie though except when the dorms unexpectly closed freshmen year.  The laundry machines were easy to access, they cleaned the bathroom & living areas, food was prepared, financial aid and scholarships made life totally unstressful, and all activities were within walking distance. I think being an orphan made college life easier although sad at holidays.

Sorry to hear that you are going troubled times. But yes. People can surely get thru' this. Remember one thing. "Tough times never last long. Tough people will". If you look at the lives of all great men, you'd see that they overcame thousands of obstacles to get to where they were. Abraham Lincoln is a prime example. If possible, read their biography. That will surely help you.\n\nTroubles come into our life for a reason. They are there to give us a new perspective or to help us discover our hidden power which we haven't discovered yet. So, dont be discouraged. At the end of all the problems, you'd emerge as a much stronger person.So, hang in there. Try to talk to your friends/people who wont let you sulk. Try to join a church or a spiritual group which would help in giving you a different perspective. Try to look at the brighter side of things when things look down. Look at how happy you'd be when all problems are solved. Having a positive attitude and looking at the brighter side of things helps getting thru' times like this.\n\nI'd suggest that you do the following. Look at the problems and prioritize them. Dont look at all problems at the same time. Tackle one thing at a time. Give priority to problems that can't be postponed and try to resolve them. Again, try to look at the brighter side of things. Things will be in a better shape soon. A couple of stanzas from HW Longfellow's "The psalm of life" to keep you going.\n\nNot enjoyment, and not sorrow,\nIs our destined end or way ;\nBut to act, that each to-morrow\nFind us farther than to-day.\n\nIn the world's broad field of battle,\nIn the bivouac of Life,\nBe not like dumb, driven cattle !\nBe a hero in the strife !\n\nLives of great men all remind us\nWe can make our lives sublime,\nAnd, departing, leave behind us\nFootprints on the sands of time ;\n\nFootprints, that perhaps another,\nSailing o'er life's solemn main,\nA forlorn and shipwrecked brother,\nSeeing, shall take heart again.\n\nLet us, then, be up and doing,\nWith a heart for any fate ;\nStill achieving, still pursuing,\nLearn to labor and to wait.

My childhood is such a blurr, I only remember certain things..........It was a depressing one that I think I chose to forget.....I remember my father never being around, he left when I was 9 months old, I have 2 older brothers......I remember ugly custody battles........3 days a week me and my 2 brothers were at the pshychiatrists office..........I latched on to the first guy I met, and moved out of that house at 16 and purposely got pregnant, I ended up miscarrying.........I then packed up and moved to Florida looking for a new life only to get wrapped up in drugs.......I'm over all that now.........Thank God, I'm grown up now!!!!!!!!\nIf I could change anything about it, I wouldn't change a thing........I have learned so much about people it's unreal, I learned that sometimes water is alot thicker than blood!!!!

I was married and now divorced. It was a horrible experience being in that situation.  The worst part was she was my best friend and we had a child together. If you're in that situation, I feel your pain but it wasn't any easy last three years. Much better place now! Now before anyone makes any rude comments, I wouldn't accept that I was gay and thought their was other issues. I didn't get married KNOWING i was gay. I should have known but I didn't.
