Regrets Raising My Daughter
I’m always confused when people say they have no regrets. The definition of regret is to “feel sad, repentant or disappointed over something that has happened or been done, especially a loss or missed opportunity.”
By that definition, I’ve had plenty of regrets.
I don’t regret having my daughter, but I regret all the things I couldn’t do for her.
Not providing her a stable home till she was in high school.
All the fights she witnessed between me and her mother, especially the final one in the schoolyard. That happened in front of parents and teachers and her friends. I still think about that day.
