Question

What's the most interesting crossroad you've gone through in life so far?

Answer 1

Good Question!

I would have to say Health issues and sometimes facing the unknown and trying to get beyond the possibilities of negative outcomes.  

Answer 2

Mine have been minor. . .whether to marry or not, divorce or not, every one changes roads, but for major ones I agree with blu . . .The road to self recovery is not painless, or without challenge !  We all fear change inside our comfort zone.  If we are not challenged we will not change. . .if we do not change, we will not grow ! !  (from a poster hanging in my granddaughter's room) . . .I just love these words ! !  

Answer 3

Leaving one life and walking into a new one with no guarantee.

Answer 4

Rehab

When someone enters rehab they are at a crucial crossroad of their life.

If you change the self image, you change the personality and the behavior. Consequently, when someone enters rehab, they are in a position to improve their self image by completing the course or further damaging it by failing.

I am one of only 5% to graduate f/ the behavior modification program and it has done wonders for my self esteem. It was the proudest day in my life when I walked the stage.

Today I avidly carry the message of recovery because I love the giving back process that is so badly needed by those still afflicted by their poor choices.

Answer 5

I've been wondering about the hereafter, and I came across a website that caught my interest.  It's called the Near Death Experience Research Foundation.  Link is pasted below if you are curious.

I'd say when the kids finally moved out and we realized we were bored in life without the school activities and seeing all their friends and all.  Its quite depressing all of a sudden.

I agree with "Blu"!!!  Stopping addictions is very difficult!!!  You lose your favorite thing to do plus you have to give up your friends and make new ones!

Answer 9

interesting question!  i have had many crossroads, probably the scariest was taking the plunge and leaving an abusive hubby with my two small boys in tow.  never did get any kind of help from him, i used to joke about getting out of my way if i spied a nickel laying on the ground.   my recent crossroad was when mom's doctor told me she could no longer live on her own.  should i leave her in nursing home or move her in with me?  i could not get her out of that nursing home fast enough, they could probably put that particular bunch in prison...but that is a whole other story

Answer 10

Having to remove my Sister and her two young boys from an abusive relationship and send her from Ca to Indiana where I can't share the growth of the boys growing up. I miss them all terribly. She has Chiari's and Fibromyalgia and has a terrible time getting any decent medical care in Evansville. There is little to no Doctor's equipped to deal with Fibro anywhere in that city. She and the boys have been there now 3 years, and still the situation is so dim for her and the boys. No money. Living with our Aunt a retired Registered Nurse.

Crossroad, good that I helped her get out of the situation, and out of harms way, before he hurt the kids and her any worse. Bad that the only place she could go and live and be safe was so far away from her immediate family. (My Sister really never could make enough money to live on her own for longer than one year, so she lived with our Mom, then found this jack*** on-line and insisted she move to northern Calif with him. And of course he lied, became abusive, etc) He was looking for a housekeeper and babysitter for his own kid with mental and emotional problems)  

Neither, of the Ex Husbands, are of any worth. The first, continues to make big money under the table to avoid paying his child support (now it is up to $90,000 plus owed her, but the Rich Daddy (grandfather) is a High Society Hollywood Lawyer without any concern for his Grandchild and continues to help the Son get out of trouble and not pay for his child) The other Husband disappeared the 3rd day after the Wedding. When he finally called he was in jail for dealing drugs resulting in a long prison sentence. His Son can not remember ever seeing his Father. So there is no child support there either. Our Mom helps her with the necessities, and no one in our family is well to do.

Some people have it tougher than others. That is just the way it is.
