    In keeping with Nap’s great thread list three personal regrets-
    make these NOT SA related…..

    I regret not finishing and getting my bachelor’s degree

    I regret not being more ambitious in my career (and I love my job!)

    I regret not being able to a better mom by not being more focused on my kids when adversity would hit at different points in my life. 🙁

    Hi Bev,
    Those anniversaries can seem like sink holes that open up all of the sudden. You need a self-care plan for your day. Make a list of everything you will do in that day, including your meals.
    Look after yourself. I always have a new magazine or library book. I meet someone for a meal or coffee. I clean something (like my bathroom), change my sheets, buy new earrings. It all sounds stupid but it works for me.
    I hope you feel better soon.
    hugs,D.

    Thank you Diane……I truly feel like I cannot draw a breath. I have some kid oriented activities that are a must so that should help. I am expecting the worst and hoping for the best ( do not kill him ..)

    This just sucks…No sugar coating it.

    I regret not knowing I am beautiful sooner
    I regret not knowing God loves me sooner
    I regret not following my heart and travelling the world when I was young

    But I will never regret either marriage for my beautiful children and I am learning to love myself for me and I will grow from this and take on the world

    1. I regret not paying attention to red flags

    2. I regret not marrying my college sweetheart (except for my 2 daughters).

    3. I regret being intimidated by my malignant narcisstic mother when I was younger . She’s really an empty bully who triangulates everyone. I gave her WAY too much power.

    1-I regret not looking at the mirror and say how beautiful I was/I am

    2-I regret not looking even once before inside my heart and soul to see the beautiful, kind, trusting heart that I have nor have I seen before the great soul that I have, it is a part of god, part of the big universe that connect me to all of you, with that soul I have unlimited abilities and possibilities, I can fly, I can travel through the universe and meet people like you, and love all of you so much even though I have never seen you once

    3-I regret not loving the great moral, loving, kind person that I am and allowing many assholes with no ethics or moral values to make me feel less than adequate about my self,or allowed them to insult me in any shape or form, including coworkers, bosses, acquaintances, clients at work,people i met on the street or in the mall or in some parties,,or even my aunt who told me at age 12 that i was not beautiful, or my mother who failed to tell me once while i was growing up that i am beautiful or that she loves me, she is better now she gives me hugs before i leave to work 🙂 as she is living with me ,,
    and of course on the top of the list comes,,my DAH/SAH
