Whats the hardest decision you have ever made in your life and it changed your life massively?

Stood up to my father for my mom, said what i have always wanted to without crying. I think it made me somewhat brave

To quit drinking.

leaving my country and family 10 years ago. Worth it? 100% but not easy at all

Quitting my job, allowed me to finally have freedom

I had to be the one to make the call to end medical treatment on my dad after he had a massive stroke. Ending someone's life, even if it is what they would want, is no small matter.

Joined the military. Left behind everything I knew. Despite everything it was the best decision for myself.

Going no contact with a big part of my family. 4 years have passed. I feel happy, healthy and self-confident. It was rough but totally worth it. Life is very beautiful

Standing up against toxic family members and setting boundaries.

Filling out a DNR for my 37yo son.

Migrating to the US. I thought I was hitting a dead end in the Philippines and I needed to set my sights higher. An opportunity came along and I took it. I have no family and friends in the US. I had to leave everyone behind. Six years later, I was able to bring my family with me and my life is just a lot better than what I've left behind.

Which degree to pursue. I spent 3 years choosing between economy and geology. I chose wrong (geology) and ended up in field which suppressed my best skills and motivation. So I dropped university and became freelance data specialist, which is more satisfying for me personally. I wish I chosen economy, because I still enjoy studying it on my free time

If I should answer the ER doctor asking if my mother had a DNR as she coded out in front of me.

To be alive and live life.

Going into the streets at an early age, nothing that I will ever regret more then that. Took a massive amount of time away that could’ve been spent with loved ones and family

Going no contact with the rest of my family besides my sister. Feels like they died but I know they are alive somewhere. Weird feeling.

Staying after a really intense betrayal.

Not continuing uni after my Bachelor degree to go to a private management school.

Quitting my old job, getting a new one that pays more was the massive change.

I didn’t move away to be with someone I loved. I think it was a huge mistake and I regret it deeply.

Realizing that I had to quit drinking or I would end up dead or in prison. It's been about a year and a half, and while although things aren't super great, things have gotten better and I believe much more good is coming. Alcohol is so bad in many ways but it's socially acceptable and by the time you realize what's happening it's too late a lot of times. Nothing positive comes from drinking..

Getting married

Left life in the UK and moved to the Philippines. Been significantly happier since.

Leaving my spouse. It is easily the bravest thing I have ever done and it's not even close.

well during the corona years i traveled to Lagos Nigeria (one of the most dangerous towns in the world) to get married. still married and living together. went from being single and depressed to having someone around and not that depressed

Divorce

I left my office job and a boss I hated to work under. The next one I found, I liked my boss but still didn't like the office. So I quit and became an apprentice splicer. 1mo in and loving it

Going no contact with my family. I had to unlearn very destructive communication patterns and learn how to communicate with people who grew up in‘normal’ families with more healthy and respectful relationships. It was difficult, and I continued to make mistakes that were avoidable, but overtime I was able to rewire my behavior thanks to the examples provided by a whole bunch of different people. I don’t know if they knew that this was happening. And I don’t know why the people who made themselves available to me did given my behavior, but I am eternally grateful that they included me in their lives.

**The "Hardest Goodbye."** Choosing to cut off a toxic family member to save your own mental health, even when everyone else called you the villain

Quit stable jobs, moved across country on a whim with very little plan. Sounds insane and partially it was but it proved a lot to us and set us on the amazing path we are on now. Could it have gone horribly? Sure but why wallow in the "what if's" in life.

Ended an otherwise good relationship after almost 2 years, and saving up for a ring, after she told me she never wants kids and would never change her mind when I wanted kids. A few months later met my now wife, who pushed me to a successful career and we have two wonderful, albeit crazy, kids. I couldn't be happier, but that was a tough choice to make at that stage in my life.

Calling a divorce attorney.

Moving away from my family for a man I met on the internet.  My mum started calling me the worst daughter in the world. My dad backed that up with texts calling me names. My sister wanted me to babysit on moving day whilst she fucked her best mates fiance but I said no, so she threatened to tell my nephews I didn't love them anymore. She followed up on that threat when I still refused. My youngest nephew was only 5, that was a truly rotten thing to say to your kids. I had buried my brothers ashes just 3 days earlier so I wasn't exactly in a great frame of mind so her cruelty hit hard. I can't believe she did it if am honest. Yeah ok, hurt me, but leave your f****** kids out of it!!!  It's now 18 years later. It's been years since I spoke to any of my family. I miss my nephews, or rather I missed watching them grow up, but that's it. I married the man I met on the Internet. We got pets together. We bought a house, then we bought a business, then we got our van, and once all that was done we could start saving for our future! We now have more money than we know what to do with. 5 star holiday booked and paid for. The business is doing well. We're renovating the house to 21st century standards and it's worth a hell of a lot more than we paid and the mortgage is negligible. Not many people can say that. Not that it matters because it's our home lol. My life is not a bed of roses but my husband has nothing to do with how I feel right now. He's my rock and I don't know what I would do without him. He's an a****** at times, but he's MY a****** and God help anyone who gets in the way of that. Also, I'm an a****** too :-)  So they felt I made the wrong move but truthfully, I think I would have to ended it if I stayed in that shitty little inbred village. I most certainly would never have achieved anything. I was only of use to my family if I was doing something for them. Nothing was ever reciprocated. I could bend over backwards but them wishing me happy birthday was too much hassle for them. I can't tell you how much that hurt sometimes.  The last time I went to see them I had a panic attack. The first one in nearly 2 decades. The last I heard about my nephews, one of them was a single parent to 3 kids by the age of 25 and the other is doing all he can to end up in prison. My eldest nephew had a restraining order against my sister and no one ever told me the truth as to why, so I don't think my sister is a good person. I never ever thought I would say this but I am much better off without them. It's a horrible thing to say but it's the absolute truth. My life began the day I stopped living for them! 

Leaving the Democrat Party,.

Love Jesus Christ.
