Decisions You've Made That Have Caused Tremendous Pain

[otnemem]

When I was a baby, my dad got lung cancer from smoking. I was the fourth of four kids, and my mom tells me to this day how hard it was constantly thinking, "I have four kids, and now my husband is going to die." They successfully operated on my dad, removing a lobe of his lung. Twenty-five years later, he's a healthy 60-year-old.

From ages 15 through 22, I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, despite knowing my dad's history and the tremendous pain my actions caused my parents.

So what's the worst decision or series of decisions you've ever made, that effected people around you so deeply that you're still uncomfortable discussing them?

You know, I've thought a lot about this kind of thing. Barring catastrophic results, I'm not sure that bad decisions are worse than non-decisions. I think in the end if you experience bad things in life then you do better off than if you didn't have any experiences. Basically, we're all going to have good and bad experiences, and the important thing is that we have them regardless of how good or bad they are.

It's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't..






(apart from suzzer obviously lol)

Can't think of one to be honest. Nope, no tremendous pain here.
