Yup. It really is sad what we've done while our kids are young. They are the the most important people in our lives and it feels bad when we don't pay enough attention.
I have lots of regret on that front. The good news is, those thoughts change. After a few weeks of living a sober life and paying more attention to our kids, we are grateful for sobriety and proud of what we've done for ourselves and our children.
The pain of regret does pop it's ugly head once in a while still for me. I'm 1month sober. For the most part though, I just think "Thank God I am sober and not wasting anymore time."
Sober is the way to go.
