The 60s and 70s (for me) had no awareness of my problems. Only now am I discovering that I did what I could, but I wasn’t equipped to deal with people well.
It’s too late for me, but I’m glad kids today have more resources, although the problems are just as hard to navigate.
God bless you all.
That’s not oversharing. That’s just adding detail.
It’s okay to have made mistakes, and it’s definitely okay for not being able to be perfect. No human is or can be. What’s important is that you’ve chosen to be better going forward.
That advice about self forgiveness the other user gave you was excellent. I still need to work on that more, but I know from experience that it’s an important thing to practice.
