I stood up to my then partner’s abuse. He told me I had no power and he would make sure I was left with nothing if I ever left him.
I knew if I cried he would use it against me and try to convince me I was crazy and emotional. He would do that so I would know my place. So I held my tears and bit my tongue.
30+ people invited, 1 showed, mother’s friend’s kid. (I was ~6-8), parents didn’t do birthday parties for me after that. Next birthday get together I had was @16 with 3 friends. I’m not an only child but it was just me in that situation.
I don’t know yet. It’s not until the 23rd.
Grandma died
Party was canceled because my grandpa died
I was born, and I took great offense at that.
My 16th birthday we were on a family vacation. I was upset that day cause I wanted to be with friends, my dad was pissed cause I was unhappy and didn’t even tell me happy birthday. Sounds like not that big of a deal but to teen me it was devastating
My 5th birthday. I had mumps, but my mother had already organised a birthday party for me, so I lay upstairs, confined to bed, listening to a roomful of other kids having fun downstairs.
This was a very long time ago, before children were routinely given the mumps vaccine.
Nothing
Had to pay $200 for a covid test because my families insurance had just dropped me because I turned 24
In the US, the insurance should have continued until 26.
Are you sure your parents didn’t drop you and blame the insurance?
Edit: I’m assuming you’re in the US because of the lousy healthcare, but I suppose you could be in some other shithole country.
FYI this doesn’t apply to Tricare (military healthcare), it’s 21 in that case (with exceptions for full-time students).
Yeah I live in US. It honestly could be my parents but thats what happened sadly
Got raped
Spent it in the hospital, drugged with some morphine shit that wasn’t actually powerful enough to take away the pain.
Pancreatitis is no joke, kids.
What caused it?
That’s a story and a half
In early 2020, after 5 years and 3 separate doctors I figured out why my belly hurt all the time. It was crohn’s disease. But hey, good news, I could start treatment!
The first treatment we attempted, because we had to, was Azathioprine. It is provided freely by our government’s free healthcare service, and it works for a lot of people.
Well it did put the crohn’s into remission. After a month I took my first normal shit in eeeeh nine years?
Small problem, it was too toxic for my body and my pancreas rioted.
Anyway we started with Entyvio after I got over the pancreatitis, it is not provided by the government but my parents’ health insurance covers it and we found a way.
First normal shit in 9 years? That’s crazy. You wouldn’t even remember what normal was after that long. Must’ve been quite a relief.
I almost took a photo of it in my phone to tell my friends about my great achievment.
TMI-ish, nasty
C.D. shits are insane by the way. When talking to normal people I call it ‘diarrhea’, but really it’s more like vomiting out of your arse.
These happened on different years but a really close friend died, one of my grandfathers died and my childhood dog died
Damn, reading the comments here really puts things in perspective. I was gonna say something about getting a bunch of Rick and Morty stuff despite having no interest in Rick and Morty, but damn y’all
The 9/11 suicide attacks. I didn’t know until a couple days later that a relative died during it.
