Have you ever had a really bad thing Happen in life

I lost my wife and 3 kids ,then a killer job with a major railroad ,then injured my back on another job and was denied use of my insurance ,
had to go to work building boats in pain to get my own insurance ,
was jerked around by a doctor almost a year ,and my Dad who also had a bad back believed lies I was able to work I was just milking the injury ,so he hauled me off like a stray dog to another state and left me ,broke ,no car
I made it ,met a great girl ,got married ,a few years into our marriage my back gave out again and I had to have major surgery ,
was told I have a glass spine I would never do the work I was good at again ,
fell into a pity party ,but did go back to work ,
then my shoulder went out ,no one could find out why ,my wife thought I was wanting her to support me and my new addictions to anything for pain ,so she left ,lost another Home I paid for ,my cars ,my truck ,my boat ,my camper ,all my music equipment I worked hard in pain for ,but all I wanted was my wife back ,
what I got was healed from my addictions ,found my kids my first wife hid from me 12 yrs ,moved to where they lived ,got custody of them ,
was finally awarded my Social Security ,
Was there to make sure my kids graduated ,went to college ,had kids
and now I also have a son who is 9 ,his Mom and I made it 15 yrs but this time she was the addict not me ,when she refused to go to rehab I asked her to leave ,this time my home was mine and we never married for her to take everything I had ,she knows I can take our son so she got her self together ,we share him with no battles ,
my grandkids are all almost grown ,1 just finished high school with 2 yrs college under her belt from duel enrollment and she has earned 4 more years of scholarships ,my grandson is only 17 already working as an aviation mechanic ,
the other 2 also have careers mapped out ,my middle daughter who has been unable to have kids now at 37 is with child ,so all my girls are happy ,good men ,all have good jobs and their own homes paid for except the youngest who is buy hers the beginning of next year at 37
my 9 yr old son is an A student ,very happy in spite of a broken home
and all my needs are met
I own 2 cars paid for ,got all my music equipment back ,everything I have is paid for ,I have enough tools for my grandson and son to start their own companies
I am thankful in 1994 I did not succeed in killing myself
I did not get my wife back ,,but I did get back exactly what I needed
My family is everything
my parents got to see their grandkids again before they passed
I was able to take care of Mom and Dad up to their deaths
I have a lot to be thankful for and proud of
this is the short story believe it or not ,,
but it is one of from living on the streets after loosing it all to coming to a city no one wanted me to come to ,and making a good life ,a family and a home
its had its ups and downs ,,but I am a better man having gone through it all
and I am not in debt ,and I have peace of mind
I could never drink enough or do enough drugs to get that before
I am a blessed man ,,my family is my treasure ,glad I lived to get that

Yes. I lost my job at a call center a few years back, and had a falling out with a friend. I fled the city, lived rough for a time, and then landed a job back in my hometown.. out in the country, where life is pretty good.

Some obnoxious people I have met have introduced me to the best people I know and one obnoxious person told me about a house that was for sale and my buying it was one of the best decisions I made in my life.

Yes, I had to get divorced (nearly 20 years ago) & at the time was mortified. Took a long time to realise it was really for the best but when I did I felt very blessed indeed 🌸

Failed at school often when I was younger. Not cuz I was dumb but rather very lazy and emotionally unstable. One day I failed my first college class and got sicken tired of being a loser. Now I study often, and make sure I stay healthy. I wanna control where I go with my life and not let fear or laziness get in my way anymore.

Yes, but I've posted a lot about my past on my page.

I won't share but YES
