Mine, one of many, was reading 'If This Is a Man' by Primo Levi, jewish chemist who survived Auschwitz.
Bit of a heavy starter, but what's yours? Negative or positive, heavy or light, clean or filthy

Not as dramatic as some here, but spontaneously enrolling back in FE about twelve years ago. Getting those qualifications, and going on to uni, changed everything for me. |

"Working with families who'd lost a child. Gave me a very 'how fucking dare I complain about anything' outlook."
With you here. I'm a little bit crushed to say I'm recently familiar with this. |

Meeting the person who taught me that I could be different and successful, not successful despite being different. Everyone needs one of those.
Unfortunately they died in June. |

We had a house fire, in which my ex husband left our severely autistic daughter inside, so he could jump to safety. I’d come home from a night shift as a nurse, and couldn’t get in. To watch them bring your child out and she’s not breathing, and start resuscitation, and then hear “she’s breathing!” is the best feeling ever! My worst experience was also my best. I’d lost one child, I couldn’t bare to lose another.
We trundled on for a few more years, had another child, he slipped carrying her as a baby on the top of the stairs, he let her fall to stop himself falling. To see her stumble as I heard him shout out was terrifying, luckily a check in A&E confirmed no injuries. Again we trundled on until I couldn’t go on and just over 6 yes ago, ended the marriage. Nearly two years of hell became a positive as now we get on better. We have our own lives, and he admits that he struggles with our oldest, as he’s on the spectrum too, so they had a constant battle. We became friends again, when we were enemies, that’s positive x Viv xx |

The death of my grandson changed my whole perspective on lifein a huge positive way. He completely changed me and I wouldn't be the person I am today if he hadn't been in my life for those 24 days 
Forever in my heart xx |

I haven't had one life changing experience. I have had a lot of experiences positive and negative that have led me to where I am in my life now. I think many redundancies between the two of us made us realise that no employer is loyal to its staff regardless of how loyal you've been to them. This did make us completely reassess our lives and make big changes which ultimately have been very positive. |

Quite a few things have made me reassess things. Losing my IVF twins whilst my husband was out boozing even though I begged him to stay home because I didn't feel right. A short while after that he beat me up and that left me no choice but to get a lawyer. He was my childhood sweetheart and completely changed me as a person.
Also being diagnosed with a brain tumour changed my life forever. |

Thankfully nothing particularly negative, but most significant was a trip to The Gambia with university. I wouldn’t be the mum I am and the job I do without that trip. And that the trip has change many families in my area because of the business it inspired me to have and voluntary work I did. I’d love to go back. |

I think right now to be honest. Going through a divorce, living on my own for the first time, going through some serious mental health issues. And possibly trying to set myself up to go to uni and change my career once done to what I actually want. |
