[quote=Anonymous]OP I know you have posted before on this. Don't post to the non-experts. It is worth you looking into this more for yourself. If you can't let it go, maybe therapy will tap into what it is exactly about that event that gnaws at you (her suddenly hearing from another about the event/going to the band event that was actually NBD- not a major band event- and feeling a need to let you know it was underwhelming).

Maybe it's just the 'eff me!' whomp-whomp feeling of knowing that the one damn thing she went to- it would have been awesome if had been worth it- if it was a big event/if you were the star/if you rocked the house- the whole thing was amazing - and if it then made her regret not showing up to all the other events. It's like her going to that one lame event reinforced why she was right not to go to all the others in her mind. That would bother me too. Like when you see something cool and yell 'look look!' only for everyone else to turn too late and miss it.

I think you showing up for all that you can of your kids events is you wiping the slate and being the mother you wanted.[/quote]
