do you think things could have been different?

[TAW122]

In some ways, maybe slightly different, but in the grand scheme of things, probably not. I have my own way of seeing the world for what it is and just getting help sooner won't likely help my situation. Furthermore, I may have been worse in other ways too, there are just too many variables to give an exact scenario.

I do think that if some mental problems I have had been addressed from an early age things would have been very different.

If my family would have stepped up and not let their power and control trips get to them, I probably wouldn't have developed so many illnesses and my life wouldn't have tanked. I used to think it was cowardly to blame anyone else for your problems. After so long suffering though, I now believe the opposite. I think it's definitely okay to acknowledge who made your life unnecessarily worse and who fucked you over. When I leave this world, I intend to put them on blast and ruin their sterling reputations.

In my opinion, the simple answer is "family." If you are blessed with good parents, or parents and not breeders in general, then life can't be happier. If not, then you find yourself typing a reply to "do you think things could have been different?"

if my parents had believed me when i said i needed help so long ago at age 9, i probably wouldn't be this bad. is it the same for you?

absolutely. better parents, no crippling injury

If I had a caring mom no maybe yes/I am unsure. I think sooner or later I would've came to the conclusion life is appalling. I think it would've delayed my death date by a few years/decades.

Nah, I was born a failure and every step I ever took in life reinforced that label. Some folks are just not meant to thrive, I'm one of them.

If I didn't get married and have kids. My mother started it off and I grew angry and strong. My husband and kids picked up where she left off and now I'm ready to ctb. I'm 36 and don't know one ounce of genuine tlc. So, I do believe in different situations it would be better

 

[FrankieVallie]

In a realistic sense, absolutely not for me. I would have to be a different person from a different family in a different kind of world. My life was already determined before I was born, and I'm confident that nothing I could have done or can do will change it. I don't regret the decisions I've made and would not have done things differently in my life if I could relive it. I have fought as hard as I possibly could but still lost, so there's nothing left for me here. I am at peace with death and ready to go.

im worried that i may have been born to be in pain

Probably if I hadn't been so stubborn and stuck my head in the sand and pretended nothing was wrong.
