Has the worst thing that ever happened to you later ended up as the best thing?

My first marriage ended in divorce and broke my heart. It devastated me as he had been unfaithful numerous times. We endeavored to work it out through counseling and even moved to get a fresh start.

Things would be good for a short while and then I would begin to see the red flags pop up. One day we were driving down PCH (pacific coast hwy) heading home and he was frustrated with me and blurted out, what more do you want? I've given you everything you ever asked for!

I replied that I never asked for those things and all I ever wanted was him. He said, "I can't give you that". I looked at him and replied then we don't have anything else to talk about.

We were divorced a short time later. Three years later I met a wonderful man and we married 6 months later. I have a daughter with my first husband and with my husband now I have 3 children.

We will celebrate 28 years in February and although I hate divorce I am grateful that from that tragedy came this blessing!

As many people will tell you - divorce is often a worst/best thing. It's hell to go through but it makes you stronger, forces you to really evaluate who and where you are in life and hopefully we all learn from our mistakes, right? Of course, you look your best (the divorce diet = not eating) when you feel your worst.

Isn't that fun.

Going to jail I never thought jail time could do me good but it did my life changed for the better that night.

The worst thing that ever happened to me was my first marriage. It was a disaster. I married a woman who had some emotional issues, based on previous relationships.

When we first met, everything was great. We, for of a better word, clicked. We were together for about a year before we decided to get married.

And that's when the disaster hit. The first 6 months were fine. She would do subtle things here and there.

However, the next five years were HELL. Without going into detail, she was verbally abusive. Onetime, I had lose my job at Target(completely my fault) and started working for McDonald's.

Well, after three months of working there, I was fired for allegedly stealing $75 from the register. I came home and told her what happen. Instead of her being supportive and encouraging, she through a plate at my head.

Luckily, the plate missed me and hit the wall. I do not beat on women, but if that plate would have hit me, I would be in jail. Out of the 5 years we were married, we only been together for 1 1/2 years.

We finally filed for divorce. But that time I move to Baltimore. God blessed me by allowing me to meet a beautiful woman, who is caring, loving, God-fearing, who is also a music teacher.

When my divorce was final, We married this young lady. We are now in our 2 years of being married and I have to admit. I wish the woman I married now was my first.

But this marriage has been great so far.

For me, personally-it's hard to say. I do know a very, very wealthy, and successful man that would not hesitate for a minute to tell you that "yes, it has.

You know, we should not look upon things negatively even if it appears to be so. One bad thing may lead to a better one. Every unacceptable thing that happens to us is a blessing in disguise.

Every "bad" thing that comes your way is not really bad. It is your perception that counts. That's why I said don't look at things from a negative perspective.Be positive always.

The one most important thing that a person should do is to love God and his neighbors. Thanks and more power. May God bless you and your loved ones.

Good day and happy hubbing.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
