I feel a LOT of guilt for all the things that my children have had to experience and witness in their short lives.
Guilt is usually when we put the word
should or
should not in front of a sentence. I should have done this or that.
I shouldn't have done XYZ.
Let go of the guilt trip on yourself . You did what you could, with the knnowledge you had at the time with the circumstances at hand.
That was then and this is now. Children are resilient and the lessons you are teaching them in resilience and creating conscious changes for a better life will serve them well.
Despite our impatience time takes time and with love support and maybe counselling if that fits for her she and you will heal. Do you have special mother daughter one on one time. Maybe a date for a milkshake with no other family members. A special time with you that she and she alone owns and can look foward to.
