I regret a lot of things I’ve done in the past but the biggest thing I regret is how I lost my virginity. I was 13 and thought I was “the shit”. I had a crush on this dude and at the time he was 17 (soon turning 18). At the time I thought it was so cool being with an older lad however when I got older I realised how fucked up it was. I wish I wasn’t so desperate as at the time I was going through the beginning of my depression. He also had a fiancé and he cheated on her with me. What makes it worst I was so screwed up in the head at the time that him cheating on his fiancé with me made me feel “hot”. This dude now has another fiancé and a child. A part of me wishes I had the courage to tell someone about this. He took my innocence at an age I was meant to be innocent but I was probably asking for it. Thank you for reading.

I been thinking real hard about even relaying these awful things about the person that I have admired the most, the person I have respected and revered my whole life but that now, has completely backstabbed me in the worst way possible. A few years ago, a scandal broke in my political family involving my mother. As you can imagine, it nearly broke my marriage and tore my husband’s family apart. My sister in law found my father in law and my mom talking on social media. The worst part of it, when I was confronted, I was accused of knowing about the whole affair and made it looked like I was an accomplice to the whole ordeal. When I had absolutely no clue to such a disgusting mess. I don’t know what neither of them were trying to accomplish and now, I’m the black sheep of the family. No one talks to me. While my father in law is still loved and honored. My mother the home wrecker and I pay the sins of her ordeals. She never once has said I’m sorry. Never! In her head, I’m better off without that side of the family. But it’s not about that; why did she do this to me? Why my father in law? Among so many men? Why him! I guess I’m just looking for an explanation and I know I will never get it from her. Because she just cannot accept she did anything wrong. I wish I could get her version because as of now, I only know everyone else’s but her’s. I always thought I didn’t need to hear her side because it’s not my place to question her, but I have kids who now have to suffer for her sins as well. I don’t think it’s fair to them either. I guess the damage is done as well and the past is the past. I won’t get nothing accomplished but I just want an acknowledgment from her part that she messed up.
