I want to impart upon you one thing, because you are wrong about one thing.
I would not have felt bad for my boys. I wouldn't have allowed that, I would have built and was in process of building the best life I could provide for them. Feeling bad for them, meant I would have let them feel bad for themselves, and I see that leading to a life of excuses.
I felt bad for them during it, when I was feeling bad for myself. But not after I starting playing the cards that I was dealt.
