Parental Guilt

Parental guilt is such a nasty thing. 

So much time is wasted on wondering what choices could’ve been made if we had of had access to different information. So much time spent living in “what if’s” and the “I wish’es” Instead of living in the present moment with the information we have access to. This guilt if allowed can over power your very being and wrest control of the very essence of your soul. 

I’m choosing to not wallow in the guilt because I know that I have always made the best decisions for my son with the information available. I’ve given him the tools he needed to help him flourish academically, emotionally and to some extent socially. I’ve supported his diverse interests no matter how difficult it was at the time. I’ve tried to help him understand that by all kids will need he needs/wants them to be and that’s okay. ⬅️ 

I’m raising an amazing/exceptional young man. That is alright by me.
