I learned a long time ago that we can't go through life according to "coulda-shoulda-woulda-haves." So, I make every effort to avoid that trap and just accept responsibility for whatever decisions I do make, right or not so right.
It's easy for us to think the worst, I think especially for us women, as we naturally seek approval and acceptance. Well, some of us do; I really don't give a rat's patoot what anybody thinks about me because I can't do anything about it. So, I just don't worry about the things I can't control.
My husband and I celebrate our 30th anniversary next week. He has taught me a lot about dealing with adversaries and tough situations with a bit of humor and how to laugh at myself. It's a lesson we've tried to teach our children, so that they're not tearing themselves apart like you are in your own examples.
Life is too short. Like the character, Auntie Mame, said:
"Life's a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!"
