Must have been a nightmare. I´m an expat, livivng in a foreign country with my beautiful daughter of 2 years.
I don´t always feel that it´s completely safe for her.

It's too fresh for me right now so the memories bring the pain...I just really miss her still...every time something happens that I want to share with her and I can't...sometimes it outshines the most positive moments that are happening...

and to everyone here

In all seriousness... there are some HEROES amongst us on the org.

I admire and respect your courage and fortitude.

A toast to you all!

In order...

1. Having my newborn son almost die.
2. Going through my divorce and all that came/comes with that.
3. Losing a baby.
4. My dad having an accident, suffering a severe brain injury and now not being like a completely different person than he used to be. Essentially my dad I knew is gone. I have a new one.

Everyone here inspires me. I don't want to say that you've all gotten through your stuff because some of you are still going through things. But, you all get up each day and put one foot in front of the other. That's important.

I didn't have her back. The court decided to give the custody to the father until age 18. They couldn't forbid me to c her and I can call her anytime.

I send her gifts, and go to c her each time I can afford it. My parents bought a flat there now, it makes things easier to visit more often.

BUT it's still a very hard situation, even if u get used to it with time.

Sometimes I have the feeling I made all I could do, I'm happy she's alive and in good health, it could have been worse.

My son loosing his eyesight in one eye after a freak illness.

Thats a cold-ass landlord

His yobs stalked me and my sister for weeks prior to that..

When my son was charged with robbery and had to go through 2 years of hell waiting for the case to come to court. Watching him standing in the dock being questioned when I knew he was innocent. Watching the family who accussed him, lie in court. Try to stay strong when I knew he faced a prison sentence, the loss of his job and potentially destroy his life.

The families statements were found to be false and after a 2 day trial my son was found not guilty.

So sorry your son had to go through that mess, I am glad that your son is not in jail for something he did not do.

does he live in London...I know some south London hoodies who'd take care of him for a KFC bargain bucket and a can of red bull

whose stoopid now!?!

Man, there are some hard luck stories here. I respect you all for being survivors and pulling yourselves through hell.

Watching my father suffer from throat & brain cancer and then dealing with his passing from it. Still hurts until this very day even though its been 7 years since he's been gone. I wish I could talk to him about certain things but cannot. And dreaming about him is the worst b/c its so real, but when I wake up, reality hits and I realize I was dreaming.

The 2nd is what i'm going through now. Realizing that the man u thought was your best friend and soulmate is really just a little ass boy who didn't have your best interests at heart and also that the relationship u had with him is just not going to work out. Is a heartbreaking thing when u realize that someone who u thought was the "one" really isn't the one for you.
