A lot of us have done that once. I was exhausted, ran an errand with my son and took him out to feed/change him and forgot to put the buckle on. Luckily I realized it pretty quickly and pulled over.

Yes. I got pregnant & figures I owed it to my son to give it a shot with his Dad. Married when DS was 18 months old.
I can now tell him I tried. But you cant fake it until you make it.

Law school, or maybe just the top 5 law school I went to. I’ve got a ton of debt and am stagnated in my non-legal “career” because I was focused on doing the best, not the best for me.

Really??? You must not have much life experience if this is all you got.

Not noticing the signs that my husband was clinically depressed before he killed himself.

I was responding to someone else. We have had some pretty horrific things happen due to other people lying/selfish/narcissistic behavior. I posted earlier about not trusting people who should be trusted but this can be a really scary mistake as a first time parent.

Not telling someone how much I love them before they were gone from my life.

It happens. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

This. Ended up in a field that I could have gotten into if I had just worked the three years. It is a nice touch to the resume though.

Not trying to be snarky, but buying a Ford™️ vehicle.

Everyone told me to only purchase Japanese, but I loved how this car looked.

Once it surpassed 100,000 miles on the odometer, it became a nasty money pit.

+2 this is heartbreaking. I'm sure you did the absolutely best you could with the information you had at the time. There's a reason that people say "the unthinkable happened" - millions and millions of people are depressed, and only a very tiny tiny fraction of them commit suicide. I hope you can find some peace.

Unknowingly befriending a woman who is mentally unstable, controlling, manipulative, and abusive towards her autistic son, and live in GF. I was incredibly happy to finally get away from that sh*t show!
