Great post. I have guilt now--was I present enough? Should I have dated when he was still in high school? I guess guilt is part of parenting. I'm sure this piece will be helpful to many.

Guilt is definitely part of parenting. I call it “a mother’s sixth sense” in my book, SUPERWOMAN. In fact, I have an entire chapter on it. 🫶

Guilt and motherhood go hand in hand. It sounds like you did a wonderful job with your kids, under challenging circumstances. Be proud.
