Have you ever experienced something that sticks with you, no matter how much time passes? I can’t shake off the memory of my teacher ridiculing my essay in front of everyone. Pretending to laugh it off, I secretly wished no one knew it was mine.
Turns out, I’m not the only one who holds onto these moments. Recently, a conversation online sparked a flood of similar stories from women. They’ve opened up about the grudges they just can’t seem to let go of. Let’s delve into their powerful and relatable stories.
Imagine being accused of something this heinous. A respondent writes that when she was twelve, her stepsister’s aunt said she’d seen her trying to smother her stepsister as she slept. Her dad walked her aside and asked her about the happenings.
Pandemic blues. One commenter recalls how she found out she was allergic to antibacterial hand gels that most stores offered. Unfortunately, she has a history of eczema, so they had to buy a less-drying hand gel.
Somebody recounts how she found out she couldn’t have children at fifteen. However, she thought she could trust her friend, who went on to tell their girlfriend.
Aw, ageism at its finest. One recalls how her best friend called and asked her to be part of her wedding party. One month later, she emailed that her mother thought she was too old for the wedding party.
Finally, a forum member expresses her disappointment with her mother. When her period came at eleven years, she went to her mother for help and asked her to keep it between them.
