[quote=Anonymous]I had this last year and it still comes up once in a while. I need to remind myself that I did the best under the circumstances. My regrets revolve around time passing, parents getting inform, kids growing up, while I wasn’t present in the moment enough to enjoy them when they were healthy and young. I had many time constraints - DH chronically unemployed, I had to be the breadwinner. Would have liked to work part time and raise my own kids, spend quality time with my mom rather than being constantly rushed and stressed. DH is the worst factor in my life, once youngest DC is in college, I’ll be a very lonely person. My mom will be dead, I hate DH and DCs in different cities. It is what it is - a very bleak outlook for me.[/quote]
