I've always had a tendency to be hard on myself. As for being happier if I hadn't gone....not sure. I'm glad I went for my son. Just wish the whole thing wouldn't have bothered me so much. Again, I think a lot of it had to do with it being a family setting.
As for XW, I suppose I will always love her to some extent. Loving her though is what makes all of this so difficult.
I'm doing better as time goes on. I will see her again at my son's concert on May 17th.
