18 years ago, I was in a very dark place in my life. My husband and I divorced and he got custody of our 2 children. I made a whole lot of mistakes, but the one I regret is not being more involved with my kids and their lives. I pray that my children will somehow forgive me, and that I can eventually forgive myself.

I have a daughter who was born with spina bifida and she will be 32 on August 29th. I have'nt seen or spoken to her since she was 21, in fact neither has her brother or sister. She disowned our family after I told her the truth about a mistake I made before she was born and I have regretted it ever since. I thought if I told her the truth and "came clean" it would bring us closer. It did the exact opposite and my heart has been broken since that day. I wish I had kept this secret to myself and I live with this regret every day of my life. I don't know where she is, how she's doing or even if she is alive. I only know I love her and I miss her and this is what I cannot change.

i am 14 years old and last year i had a friend who i actually grew to like. and then eventually love. i had never felt this way before about anyone in my life. the only problem was he was going out with my best friend. one day he kissed me. i didn't expect it at all. he felt the exact same way about me. i was happy at 1st and then realized how bad it was, and how my best friend was going to hate me. so i told her what happened and that i didn't mean to hurt her in anyway. but now everyone from my school hates me, they call me a slut and a whore. i pretend like it doesn't get to me but it does. i cant believe i messed everything up like that.
i've looked up to you since i was 5. your my

My marriage broke up in '02. I moved 2000 miles back west and worked 3 jobs nearly non stop to get settled, I realized I was not only down from the separation but I could not stand me anymore. What I finally found was that I needed to remind myself what went right in the day and I wrote it down. After doing this everyday (the sun was up, breakfast tasted good) - I wrote a what went right versus what went wrong in my day list. I realized I allowed 10 minutes of stress to ruin 23 hours and 50 minutes more. Since then I Thank God for what I have and have found fantastic friends, a new job and music that helped me heal. Thank you for being part of that LeAnn!
