What are some of the toughest decissions you have had to make in life? What in your life has made you come out stronger in the long run? My toughest decissions have been deciding to part with some of my family after my father has passed away. I have had to do that because they have just brought out the worst in me when I have worked so hard on bettering myself, just for them to try to bring me down. My fathers death and his funeral has made me stronger in the long run. I have learned alot from his life and his death. It has made me a more stronger and independant person than I have ever been.

The wrong marriage I got made me stronger than I ever thought I am capable of becoming. Soon after my marriage, I found what kind of a guy I got entangled with. He loves to hang around with his friends until wee hours of the morning and comes home drunk. He is womanizing, too. He gives me zero salary envelopes at the mid and end of each month. I had two kids already and pregnant with a third when I finally decided to leave him and go back to my parents and my hometown. I had to fight life for my children. I can't let them suffer for the wrong decision I made about having picked the wrong man to marry. While in my hometown, I tried to find a job after having given birth to the child which almost cost me my life. Hard times were always with us but we kept on coping. More problems crept in...one after the other. We hurdled them all. I can say that I am getting stronger each day and more determined to see my family through. Spiritually and morally I am at my strongest now but, physically, my health is going down. This can be expected as I am more than 50 years old already.

Separating with my first husband was the toughest I'd ever had. I used to keep in my mind that my family will stay together forever. But I was wrong. When I can no longer endure the infidelity of my ex husband, and when our principles don't meet anymore, I decided to separate from him. It took me two years living in grief. But that was 11 years ago. Now I'm more than happy ever than before. I was able to survive the sufferings.
