>>This week's burning question is:

>>What is the stupidest thing you've ever done?

>>-----



Late July, 1959. It was just about a month before I was to start my senior year in high school. I loved school and got great grades and I so looked forward to my senior year. I was 17.



My dad wanted us all to take a family trip to the lake for the weekend but I didn't want to go because I had a date with the latest 'steady - love of my life'. My dad told me to break the date and that I should really get rid of him anyway because he was a loser and would never amount to anything. Many harsh words were spoken and my tears were flowing.



On an impulse, I decided to run away from home and marry the loser. Worst mistake of my life! I wasn't even pregnant and married the loser because "I loved him!". It only took me a week or two to see how much of a mistake I made.



My dad wouldn't even speak to me for 6 months. He said that 'she made her bed, now she can lie in it'. And 'lie in it', I did. Because I didn't want to admit to my father that he was right, I silently lived through 10 years of physical and mental abuse.



Three kids and ten years later, I got a job that paid 3 times the amount that he made (when he worked), and found that I could support myself and my 3 kids much better than he ever did. I didn't even need the loser and divorced him.
