Has anyone ever recovered from a sitch this bad?

One of the worst things we do in situations like these are to blame and beat ourselves up miserably. Being honest with self-reflection and learning from our mistakes are one thing...kicking ourselves in the balls constantly and taking all of the blame is another. And they are certainly willing to let us take all of the blame. "I do" means "I will". Period. They didn't. Do not fuel her negative images of you. Every positive action counts ten times more than any mistake we ever made. Don't beat yourselves up, especially now. If you make a mistake from here on out, acknowledge that you messed up and get back on track.
