becoming a single parent was difficult and challenging, but it was the best decision i've ever made. for both my daugher and myself.

The death of my father

Re: Spin off to Life Changing decision---- WHAT WAS THE MOST CHALLENGING OBSTACLE THAT YOU HAVE HAD TO OVERCOME?

I am still working on mine right now- but I would have to say that it's my relationship with my dad.

If it's something I have already overcome then it was being attacked in College.

My medical issues. I was not allowed to drive for about a year, then I could, then couldnt again. Thank Goodness I have such a great family who was there for me when I needed to get to work, to the store etc.
I wasn't even living here in my 'hometown". I was out east and they still would go out of their way.
It was pretty hard. I felt so dependent on them, but, they were always there.

well, it wasnt an obstacle I had to overcome...but the most challenging thing for me was giving birth to my twin boys naturally

(College), I have never been good in school and I had a lot of learning disability's throughout out my life. A teacher once told my mother that I would probably never make it to college, and if I did, maybe just Suffolk.
So I went to Suffolk, graduated and then went on to Stony Brook and got my Bachelors. It was such an accomplishment for me.
I proved that A@@%#%! teacher wrong!!!

moving here from Israel. it is not significant compared to some other people's challenges. but for me at the time it seemed insurmountable. the culture shock was enormous! it took me years to adjust.

well... for me, my obsticle is coming up in the next couple years.
dealing with infertility. i have a genetic disorder called turners syndrome. and i've know since i was little that i wouldn't be able to have kids. my ovaries are not formed, so i can't even do IVF without an egg donor. and even then, there are risks to me of heart problems, kidney problems, etc from the extra "pressure" the baby puts on the body. so pretty much, our only option is to adopt. i nkow its going to be a LONG, stressful road and will probably be the biggest obsticle i have to face... but i feel like we're prepared to do it together

too personal to share, really

Re: Spin off to Life Changing decision---- WHAT WAS THE MOST CHALLENGING OBSTACLE THAT YOU HAVE HAD TO OVERCOME?

Dealing with two back surgeries in the last few years. I'm very independent and I hate relying on people for things but I am still learning that sometimes I have to. So far I have proved my first surgeon wrong that I CAN workout in a gym-with weights!

Re: Spin off to Life Changing decision---- WHAT WAS THE MOST CHALLENGING OBSTACLE THAT YOU HAVE HAD TO OVERCOME?

After getting a job right out of college in a teeny, tiny company and staying there for 5 years even though I knew it wasnt what was best for me... I picked up and left and have been SO happy ever since.
