It's not realistic or fair. And in reality fairness has nothing to do with it because life just isn't fair.

As to whether you were in control or not, it's irrelevant. It happened and you cannot change it, so you have to accept it and forgive yourself. And that is exactly what therapy/recovery helps you with.
