I had a lot of guilt as a single mother trying to raise a child. I had to go to work and Jeffrey was screaming that he didn't want me to. You have to give yourself permission to let go of the guilt.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was not a very good mother. I was always running out to do a movie or something. If I had to do it over, I would either have a career or children. I wouldn't do both unless I could work in my home. I spent 20 years feeling guilty, which is not a very nice emotion.
When I was working a lot, I felt guilty as a parent. I couldn't pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kind of thing.
I was living a complete lie. But unfortunately, guilt doesn't make you stop.
With a parent, it's always guilt. You want to be there, but you kind of also want to be here.
The worst guilt is to accept an unearned guilt.
I have no regrets about not having children. I still wait for the pang of guilt, but I have none. I tune into the television show 'Nanny 911' occasionally which reminds me how much patience and love it take to be a good parent.
I don't have any gnawing guilt over contributing to any unhappiness suffered by my husbands. They were as much to blame as I was.
I don't feel guilt. Whatever I wish to do, I do.
Guilt is a weird thing to me. I don't have a lot of it.
I kinda don't do guilt. I gave it up for Lent years ago.
