he says a lot about how he's received so many votes, but really the fact that he lost just means more people voted against him than against any other president in history

10 years ago today I was going to pick up my delayed Christmas present for my parents but a friend texted me on my way home and I ended up in the pub. I'd undo that and carry on with my original plan to go round to see my parents.
My dad had a heart attack 10 years ago today and died. My mum didn't have the strength to roll him over so couldn't perform CPR, she had to run and get a neighbour so he probably died alone. I should have been there but chose to go down the pub, it took me a while to stop blaming myself but I still regret it.

I would undo my mother’s horrible childhood. Not only did it affect her childhood it affected all 4 of her children’s childhood.

Sounds a bit like my mother - she had a difficult childhood. She had a lot of anger in her that came out easily and expected us to understand her (we were kids!). She was oversharing with one of my sisters when my sister was only 11 or 12 - turning a child into her confidante. My sister ended up feeling quite bad because she couldn't make my mother feel better. My mother should have seen a therapist instead of burdening a child.

Being unpleasant or mean to people I care about because of how I’ve been treated when I was young. It’s hardly an excuse, it’s everyone’s responsibility to grow and learn. I’m still struggling but I know in my heart how to do right.

Did you become addicted? I had some for recovery after knee surgery and it was nice, but mostly it was effective. I gave the left overs to my mother who has terrible neuralgia. That said, I had issues with cocaine for a decade or so. I never went so far as to sell things to buy it, but I also didn’t save any money either.

I believe that each human life, no matter who they are, matters and should be valued. Just because Trump has not done a great job in the white house doesn't mean he is a terrible person who should not exist.

Nothing.
I'm mental ill, severe anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD and a tenuous grip on reality, where I even drilled a hole(dremel) in my head to get the other me to leave (didn't work). We mostly get on now.
But like it or not this is me. And if I change anything, then I would be someone else and as tempting as that may sound, what if I like him less.

What do you like about school? Your local library may have connections to free online classes. There are also inexpensive online classes (such as through Udemy, edX, Lynda.com, etc.). If you enjoy learning with other people, there may be classes given via Zoom, MS Teams, Webex and other meeting platforms. One of my friends watches a lot of documentaries. If you're interested in a particular, are there opportunities at your workplace? One of my colleagues was hired to write, but was interested in graphic design. I encouraged him and showed him a few tricks in MS Word. He didn't become a graphic designer, but it made his work more enjoyable.

My grandfathers death. The last time i saw him was walking out of ChuckECheese after my baby brothers bday (I was ten). He ran a successful company and had a lot of money. I and my cousin asked him for money to buy a big prize. We didn’t use it all and my mom angrily said to give my grandfather the money that i had left back. I threw a little fit, but reluctantly gave it back. He died of a heart attack that night. I feel so guilty because i feel like the last time i saw him, all i was thinking about was myself. Also because in my younger years i saw my grandparents as nothing but a source of money. I cry about it often.
