Exactly. Don't regret anything. We do bad things and good things, they all make us what we are.

Was speaking to a mate about 'what would you change' the other day.

I said mine would definantly be "to stay with my girlfriend at the time instead of cheating on her with what is now the Ex, as you never know what would have happened"

Well said Dave, I definately wouldn't be the person I am today without the things I've been and done in the past.

If I could change one thing though it would be to still have my dad here.

I would have got directions to the place I decided to take my date, as she soon realised we had passed the same building three times, and by then she had to be home and we got a KFC on the way back, and she never spoke to me again. Such a shame. That's small time I guess.

Nothing Major I'd change.

You'd only have to go through it all again mate. You're Dad will be looking down on you, and I bet he is proud.

I have a lot of things I regret not doing, but nothing really I regret having done.

One thing would be maybe not starting my degree, and living away from home for a year and a half on mostly the parents' money, then leaving with nothing to show for what they'd sacrificed for me.

Going to hospital after i woke up bleeding everywhere. Was such a mental battle choosing between going back to sleep, knowing i wouldnt wake up, with an easy and peaceful end or choosing to go to A+E. I choose to go to A+E. So often i wish i hadnt as it would have solved a load of problems and at that time, nobody really would have missed me or really cared.

Things have changed slightly now as my half sister i hadnt met back then made contact and we get on and to kill myself now would cause her a lot of suffering so it would be selfish and therefore isnt a viable option while still in contact.

Thats a fair point but he was young and I was only 6 so we had a lot of time to spend together which is why I do miss him that much.

You are right though, I've done a lot of bad things and been in some bad situations but out of all those things came a changed person and I do believe someone had to be watching over me to help me deal with most of it.

Eh change your name back for starters-can't be that hard

Would you be the person you are today if you hadn't been married? Would you be as strong?

There are far too many things I wouldve done differently to list but the one that sticks out in my mind would be not having enough time for my dad. I should've made more of an effort with him but now he's gone it's too late.

Still, can't change the past as much as we would like to.

She did post it at 9.30pm not 1am

I think its good, some people need to talk and want to get things off their chest.

It reminds me of that thread Stu started a while ago, was some great reading on that although mainly sad stories but no doubt the people posting felt a damn sight better for opening up about things as its not always easy.
