I stood up to my then partner’s abuse. He told me I had no power and he would make sure I was left with nothing if I ever left him.
I knew if I cried he would use it against me and try to convince me I was crazy and emotional. He would do that so I would know my place. So I held my tears and bit my tongue.
Got raped
These happened on different years but a really close friend died, one of my grandfathers died and my childhood dog died
An actual hurricane took out my power for a week and blocked roads near me for days.
Are you talking hurricane Milton or a different one? I have really not been thorough too many hurricanes, but Milton was absolutely wild to me. Couldn’t even get gasoline for a solid week and some people I knew didn’t even have drinking water. It felt mildly apocalyptic.
A different one, although I’d prefer not to dox myself. Thankfully we still had running water (although those with well water did not), but I know what you mean about gasoline. The national guard had to be posted at gas stations as they came back online.
My dad fell quite ill after a blood transfusion (had been fighting CLL for ~25 years). He died 2 days later.
Had a really bad flu, but was supposed to turn up to my first day of apprenticeship. Awkward enough to be introduced on your birthday, but I also looked and sounded like shit. Could also not relax in the evening, because my now ex had a broken collarbone and could not shower without help, so I had to drive to his flat. He had no one else to help him. Got no thanks for that.
Not as bad as others thankfully but mine is: the world shut down due to a global pandemic.
Had to pay $200 for a covid test because my families insurance had just dropped me because I turned 24
In the US, the insurance should have continued until 26.
Are you sure your parents didn’t drop you and blame the insurance?
Edit: I’m assuming you’re in the US because of the lousy healthcare, but I suppose you could be in some other shithole country.
FYI this doesn’t apply to Tricare (military healthcare), it’s 21 in that case (with exceptions for full-time students).
Yeah I live in US. It honestly could be my parents but thats what happened sadly
The 9/11 suicide attacks. I didn’t know until a couple days later that a relative died during it.
Damn, reading the comments here really puts things in perspective. I was gonna say something about getting a bunch of Rick and Morty stuff despite having no interest in Rick and Morty, but damn y’all
My 5th birthday. I had mumps, but my mother had already organised a birthday party for me, so I lay upstairs, confined to bed, listening to a roomful of other kids having fun downstairs.
This was a very long time ago, before children were routinely given the mumps vaccine.
I was born, and I took great offense at that.
My 16th birthday we were on a family vacation. I was upset that day cause I wanted to be with friends, my dad was pissed cause I was unhappy and didn’t even tell me happy birthday. Sounds like not that big of a deal but to teen me it was devastating
Nothing
Party was canceled because my grandpa died
