“I Will Never Get Over That”: 35 People Share The Most Hurtful Words Ever Said To Them I have a daughter with an extremely complicated illness. Almost lost her to it twice when she was almost 3 and again 6 months later. In-between, this was 15 years ago, I broke down and wept, being so worried about her and also how distant my wife had become from me as well. After I settled down my wife told me that me crying like that had made me less attractive.

My daughter is very stable now and I've been divorced for several years.

“I Will Never Get Over That”: 35 People Share The Most Hurtful Words Ever Said To Them When I was about 7, one of the kids in my class was teasing me because “you have a fat mum”. I was so upset that someone could say something hurtful about the best person in my world. I convinced myself that they must just be jealous because getting cuddles from someone skinny must be difficult because of their pointy elbows, whereas cuddles from my mum where like cuddling an amazing powdery smelling cloud. They still are.

Kind of like my mom reading a note from my doctor when I came home from college, asking her not to smoke in the house because I had asthma. She tossed it on the counter with a bunch of other papers and said "YOU don't have asthma." while lighting up a cigarette right next to me... Had conversations with me standing outside a screen door while she was inside smoking in the kitchen. 🤦🏼‍♀️ My assumption is it was denial that her primary joy in life was making me sick and she didn't want to feel like a bad mother. Cigarettes were always the priority... Even now that her own health is failing 😕. Single mom who did her best, addiction is just a very powerful force.

"I'm glad we never had kids. I wouldn't want them to inherit your mental problems." - my ex-wife while I was in treatment for severe depression.

EDIT: For context. We were already breaking up after 13 years together. I'd always wanted to be a father because my own had passed away when i was very young from cancer. We spoke about having children for years.

I had been struggling with depression for a few years before I started treatment, but I was attacked randomly by 4 men on the street and run over by their getaway car which left me with acute PTSD and anxiety. During this time, my ex-wife cheated on me because I was no longer able to emotionally support her.

Her saying that was in the final days of our divorce. It was only meant to hurt me because she knew how badly I wanted a family. I'm glad to be rid of her.

After what I thought was a good relationship in my 30's with my dad, I was having trouble accommodating his wife's son's wedding and my lifelong friends wedding in the same week in two different states in the northeast (I'm on the west coast). I brought up the fact that I was having trouble and my dad tried to fight me (has never in my life been physical before), called me a narcissist, that I'm a piece of s**t since I was 17, and that I'm not to talk to him ever again and if he ever sees me again, he will kill me. I didn't even meet my "step-bro" until my 30's and spoke to him previously about my difficulty finding flights. Anyway, at the time of the fight I was still trying to find flights to accommodate both, but my dad telling me those things made up my mind for me. It's a shame, he's 71 and I probably will not talk to him ever again. I'm willing, but he is not. His white knight meter is out of calibration to say the least. So dumb...

For context, teenagers summer camp, I was 17. This guy was supposed to be someone I was getting along with quite well (the whole group but we were a few being always together).

I was seated chatting with the whole groupe and he came to say that randomly.

I wasn't even interacting with him. Like, he said my name so he could have my attention.

Its like he NEEDED to say it in front of everyone and he didn't feel like he was saying something wrong.

What was weird is that, he wasn't even laughing. Its not like someone or some people were trying to make fun of me.

It was so harsh that people were speechless. No one laughed. At all. I think they were as much confused as I was.

I appreciate no one jumped on that after those "wtf" 20 seconds, they all went like nothing happened.

I am 35 and still remember this. Knowing how teenagers can be cruel, I hate this had a huge impact on me but I remember people really tried to not make it a big deal. The group didn't fall into that s**t and they were between 15-17 years old.

I think someone even said to the guy "are you being serious right now??".

But I am not sure. I was really trying to swallow the humiliation.

After the first one the OP would have done well to step back and see how it played out. "I'm really sorry that you feel that way but if you decide in the future that you would like a relationship, here's my (throwaway) email." From that point forward the ball is firmly in the OP's court and while the "mom" feels otherwise, the reality would slap her like a wet mop when she needs something from the OP.

“I Will Never Get Over That”: 35 People Share The Most Hurtful Words Ever Said To Them My dad one time told my mom over the phone while I could hear that he didn’t want a relationship with me anymore.

Well, we had a big argument and my mom called him while I was sitting on the couch listening and she had him on speaker because she wanted us to talk it through but before she could tell him that he was on speaker he said he didn’t want a relationship with me or the person I was becoming. My dad and I have had issues over the years because we butt heads and it’s gotten better since my parents got divorced but yeah. That’s the whole story.

When I was married to my first wife met younger friends at work and started going out on the weekends and then one-day she left before I got home from work without saying where she was or when she was coming back........ I called about midnight to see if I can make sure she was alright and she answered screaming "what do you want from me!" I knew at that moment it was over.

I got the "i love you but don't like you always" a lot from my mother as well. It seemed so normal at the time I didn't realize it until I was unhappily married and my ex would say she liked me "some of the time". Hold up!!!! You don't like me???? Giving the caveat that "I love you" when you are sorta honor bound to love your child and/or spouse does NOT make this ok. You don't like me? Flake off.

Ok so I’ve actually never told anyone this but here goes.

When I was younger my parents were going through a very rough custody battle with me right in the middle of it. I lived with my mom and My dad was very emotionally and verbally abusive, he would literally interrogate me so he could have something to take my mom to court with. My mom fought like hell to keep me and I wanted to be with her my dad however thought otherwise. He would take her to court so many times (I’ve only ever been present once at these court sessions) but this one day ( I forget what exactly was going on ) but we were at home and my mom was venting and she said “I won’t deal with this again (talking about court) I’ll just pack your bags for you and you can go live with him.” I remember being very hurt but I didn’t show it. I felt like she didn’t care what she would be sending me too, that I wasn’t worth all the time she spent trying to keep me away from him. I questioned her love for me and if that love had faded, I remember it but we haven’t talked about it since, I don’t even know if I want to talk about it.

Edit: she never actually followed through with what she said.

I’m a recovering alcoholic. I remember really needing help from my parents and all I got was my stepdad jabbing his finger into my chest while yelling “YOU’RE JUST AN ADDICT! YOU’RE NOTHING BUT AN ADDICT!” He was so disgusted and his face showed it. I’ll never forget that, it still hurts. Ironically I started drinking to cover up pain from a traumatic childhood (I even ran away when I was in high school and lived in my friend’s basement for 2 years because my home life was so bad).

Depending on the circumstances with this one, I feel as though the parent is just venting. Some children really do give their parents hell, which continues on well past the age of 18 and into adulthood for many. Everyone has a breaking point but it still seems as though they are continually supporting their daughter. Which lucky for her because otherwise they would have given up her a long time ago, if she wasn't their daughter.
