sorry Jeff - not all men are bad....but I seriously do look back at choices and wish I'd chosen differently on a lot of things. And I have a LOT of mistrust and ummm I'm not sure.
Then I remind myself of a comment on my myspace - "Never regret anything because at one time ... it was exactly what you wanted."
So I need to change my focus and remind myself that I would not BE here, where I am today, without those actions, etc. and I'm "ok" - just feel guilt for being a divorced mom and wish I could have given my daughter a solid family for all of her life.

How many time have we all said, "It seemed like the thing to do at the time." And it was true! I think we should learn from our mistakes, but perhaps not regret them.
That's about as philosophical as this guy can get. I'm going to go get a kitten!

It is hard not to regret when the mistakes have cost you more than the lessons learned can ever bring.
I have often longed to be the ignorant, narrow-minded, short-sighted woman I once was because I would still be loved. Not perfectly, no. But loved for real. And sometimes there is more to be said for that than for the "knowledge" this road has gotten me.
My first question is whether you consider the things you did while you were MLC your mistakes. Because I can see regretting those things. But, the AmyC I know didn't do those, and the AmyC before that wouln't, so how do we account for it? It is a puzzler to me. And maybe it doesn't have an answer.
I really hope you don't wish to be that ignorant, narrow-minded, short-sighted woman you were. You may have been loved, but it would have been by an ignorant, narrow-minded, short-sighted man, in my opinion. You have a lot more to offer than that.

You may have been loved, but it would have been by an ignorant, narrow-minded, short-sighted man, in my opinion So? It worked for a long time. . You have a lot more to offer than that What good is it when nothing I have learned will benefit those closest to me, my family? It's worthless. My knowledge or whatever you want to call it is not a source of pride to them. It is the reason the family was destroyed. Because my mother jacked my head up and I lost my mind and then dared to change. No one is proud of me. This BROKE my family apart so hell YES, there is regret. .
