Technically a prison.

Meeting my fiance and when my fiance died suddenly. He was my soulmate and loved me unconditionally, even with all my faults and imperfections. He rescued me and restored my faith in true love and soulmates.
We only went on one date before he proposed to me (in the hospital, lol). We had known each other for years as totally platonic people whose kids were classmates. No hints of attraction, flirtation or anything like that.
Then Katrina hit, we were both long separated/divorced from our spouses and found each other. We both had lost everything we owned in this world and decided to partner up and make a go of it together for a new life and moved in together on the cruiseship for essential personnel parked in N.O. after Katrina. 2 people living in a 200 sq ft space for 6 months helps u bond REALLY quickly.
We just both knew the other was a good and compassionate person and we bonded quickly and fell madly in love. We did not lament all we lost in Katrina because we gained something greater in finding each other. We let go of all past baggage and hurt from the past and focused on our life together.
So much of me died when he did. I still wish I had died when he did. My place in this world was with him wherever it may be.
I have gone on in life and remarried and love my husband and am a great wife to him but he is not my soul mate. He knows this and does not care and does not believe in soulmates. My husband knows I am still in love with the Capt and understands (as he was widowed once also).
TL;DR - The death of my soulmate

Probably my parents' divorce when I was 5. I don't remember living in a nuclear household, and though my dad had money, he was a pretty bad guy and found almost sadistic pleasure in the power he wielded in turning my mom into a working single mom with little income. Suffice it to say, we grew up with no money despite the fact that my dad was upper middle class.
That's had a profound impact on my life because I swore I would work my tail off in the classroom in school and in college and that no one would outwork me in my job. I'm not a workaholic, just someone supremely motivated by fear of losing everything, catalyzed by my childhood. Not to inject sports into it, but I read Bear Bryant's autobiography recently and he was consumed and motivated by fear that he'd be a failure -- even at the pinnacle of his coaching success -- and would have to return to Moro Bottom, Arkansas. It's similar to that mentality, and it's really driven me in a good way.
Also, my dad leaving us when I was young has made me a better father and husband, therefore a lot of good has come from it.

Stout: You're a weird cat
Oh, I think that my weirdness has already been well established here and I would never deny it.
However my current hubby also proposed and we moved in together (special circumstances - hurricane related) after about 3 dates. Just to add to the above mentioned "weirdness" that I possess - in both cases, we lived together, slept in same bed, etc, for a month or two before even having sex.
The special circumstances of bonding in the aftermath of a major hurricane (Katrina and Gustav) gave us an excellent chance to see how we worked together, dealt with stress and let us see each other without romantic dates, makeup and all that fancy stuff that first dates usually entail.
TL;DR GingerKittie is a weird cat.

I am trying to fathom the idea of someone hanging themselves in the 4th grade. I mean I hated losing at Donkey Kong at that age but to throw the noose up and end it.

I'm being totally sincere and interested. How is that working out for you, Paige? I really hope that it does help you in life and have wondered about it since you first mentioned it. Glad to see you are doing this and I do hope it has positive effects on your life.

Thank you 
I've been pretty open about being slutty and drinking in the past. So I'm proud to say that I haven't had sex in a month and don't drink much. If I do it's no more than two beers or glasses of wine
The thing dbt taught me is how to experience my feelings and not constantly try to deny them and distract myself from them. I'm so much calmer and more content now

Drugs have had a major impact on my life. One of my closest friends from childhood died of a heroin OD. Had another friend die from jumping off a scissor lift while on shrooms. Him and his buddies got high and thought it would be fun to get on the scissor lift. Once up there he began to freak out and just jumped. And my younger brother is a meth addict. FML.

I am proud of you for that. You have always been very open about your life and behaviors so I hope that has been helpful in dealing with all of this in your dbt. Many people are unaware of dbt and what it does and how it can help people.
Learning new ways to cope and react should be such a great help in changing the way you approach things and to keep you from repeating past mistakes.
None of us are perfect and the ability to learn from mistakes and to find better ways to cope or react is something everyone should strive to do.
Hats off to you for taking charge this way and being so open with it. I appreciate hearing how it is helping you because it is of great interest to me and I am proud of you and cheering you on.
I think you have a lot to offer and have great potential in life and having the skills to help you harness those assets and get them going in the right direction is a huge step to future happiness and success in life.

The first time I got home before my parents and grabbed the Victoria Secret magazine out of the mail. Life was never the same.
