Could be family court, addiction, divorce, losing someone, financial problems, homelessness, loneliness—or something completely different. What did you learn about yourself, other people, or life that you probably never would’ve learned if everything had gone right? Drop it below. Someone else in here might need the lesson you learned the hard way. 👇🏼

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Chris, a 45yo from NC. Currently going through a separation which will lead to an uncontested divorce with basically 50/50 custody. Every other two week rotation I get him 6 instead of 7 days due to work. We are just working out the remainder of the equitable distribution. I say all this because I’ve read through some of y’all’s situations and it’s completely fucked, evil even and as uncomplicated mine is compared to some of y’all’s this shit still rocked me in a way I’ve never experienced before. If anyone here ever needs someone to vent on or just to talk to shoot me a message, I turned notifications on, I’m hear for ya. Chris

I’m not gonna dress it up. I’m exhausted. I’m living out of my truck, I could really use a roof over my head tonight, and my brain will not shut the hell up. And the shit with my kids is hitting hard today. Sometimes I think people forget because I’m posting, joking, going to school, working and trying to build something that this is actually my life. This isn’t content to me. Those are my kids. I miss them. And some days that shit hurts more than I know what to do with. I told you this community would get the real version of me. Well, this is the real version tonight. No motivational ending. No pretending I figured something out. Today was just hard.

Do your own research! On everything lol. ✊🏻

When I was a child my mother cheated on my father with his best friend. She collected child support filled restraining orders one after another he had to pay the child support ontop of lawyers to fight one restraining orders one after another eventually he gave up his rights. My mother had her husband adopt me robbing me of my last name the man who did descusting things to me the day before adopting me is when it started. Now I'm going through custody battle for my children with my mother. She now doing the same bullshit she done to my father to me. It's messed up how mf can cry wolf and no consequences just trying to manipulate the system to hurt someone to benefit them self
