re: What’s the toughest decision you’ve ever had to make in your life?

I had to take my mom off life support. She was 53 and perfectly healthy until a drunk fool happened.
I second guess myself every day. It’s been 17 years.
Her chance of survival was less than 1% but that smallest chance will always haunt me.
There's a special place in hell for those who drink and drive, especially if they kill someone. Sorry about your loss, man. I was involved in a wreck that killed the driver in the car that I was in; I was badly injured, and the drunk walked away.

Happens more often than not. My mom’s killer did too.

You find out how real people are when you're in a time of need yourself. People saying, well I'd do this or I'd do that or you should be doing this. All is easy to say when they are on the outside looking in. Everyone knows what to do in a situation just as long as they're not in that situation. Fakeness secretes through the pores of people who you thought were real. You have to take a step back and think to yourself, should I be treated like this? Knowing full well you'd never do the same to them. Self respect goes a long way and people see that. Sometimes the best thing to do is cut that string. Will it hurt, absolutely. Just know that deep down you've done the right thing. The thing that needed to be done. And go about continuing your life head first. Leaving the past behind.

In large part? There was more?

Sending mom to rehab with only enough money to spend one night in a hotel so she could qualify for county assistance. I thought I would never see her again

Common sense, but regret it, everyday.

To divorce my ex wife

Like another poster mentioned, just be glad y'all didn't have kids together which makes things vastly more complicated.
If I remember correctly....kingbob is unable to have kids and likely part of the reason for the divorce. (king please correct me if I am wrong on this..if so...sorry I got you confused with another poster).
I get what people mean when they say that...and yes it does make it less complicated.
But telling someone who can't have kids and likely really wanted them "hey at least you don't have kids" right now as they deal with the pain of divorce is kind of another small dagger to the heart as well.

Tell my parents that their 19 year old grandson had stage 4 cancer

I wasn't aware of that and I thought Kingbob was like 28 or something like that. A 3 year marriage at that age with no children isn't the worst thing to recover from is all I meant.
My parents were married for 14 years and had 3 kids under 12 when they got divorced. Divorce isn't usually pretty in any cases but there are certainly scenarios where it's worse than others.

King is probably 27 or so

Yeah he isn't even 30 yet. So yeah...youth on his side to bounce back.
And people say that just to offer words of support to someone struggling. I get it. I've had people say the same to me lately and while I get they are just trying to be nice...those that know me and my past struggles with all that...should know better than to tell me that right now.

I would definitely have a beer with King

Well nurse, I hope you are doing ok and I was just trying to offer words of encouragement to KB. He's young and most likely will look back on all of this one day and think that it happened the way that it was meant to.

Thanks 
I'm sure he will. But young or old....divorce sucks and is the one of most stressful things you can go through as an adult. The most stressful being death of a spouse or child or very close loved one.

Deciding to take my dad off life support. He had a massive stroke. The doctors said if they did emergency surgery to his brain to relieve pressure, he may live yet be in a vegetative state. I could’ve punched the doctor when he mentioned about covid possibly being on his death certificate.

Sign my late wife's DNR 2 weeks before she died when we found out she would not be able to recover from Leukemia.
