What's the meanest, worst thing anyone has ever said to you? How did it impact you, if at all? Does it still affect you in any way?

Just about everything that was said in my first marriage was mean and effected me so deeply that I'm not sure if I'll ever feel self confident again. The meanest I guess was when I was pregnant with our youngest child. He told me to try to stay out of his sight for the duration of my pregnancy that he couldn't stand the sight of me.

My older sister told me that I am the reason that her life is so miserable and being around me makes her contemplate suicide when I was in seventh grade. I kind of spaced out and disconnected with most people for several months after that because I was so upset. I'm fifteen now, and she's in college.

I know she's forgotten ever saying it to me, but I still can't be around her without feeling unwanted.

Ghee Amy you are beautiful but your body is too huge, is the meanest thing I have ever heard. I still hear those words as if it was yesterday not over 10 years ago. Now I can look back and say aww but you did not know me in high school when I could have doubled as the blimp, but back then all I could do is swallow my tears.My ex had said that after what I thought was good sex, so yeah beyond hurt.

When we married in the mid 80's I was thin after having lost 105 pounds so yeah after having the kids etc I added weight on which is normal. However I was not as big as I was in high school, I knew that, but he did not.It still gave him no right to say that, and he did apologize for it but man did it hurt.

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.
