Guilt is a sign you care. But guilt isn\'t always accurate, and carrying it constantly doesn\'t make you a better parent — it depletes you. The goal here is to examine it honestly, not silence it, not wallow in it.
Common forms of parental guilt
"I lost my temper" — anger guilt
"I work too much" — absence guilt
"I don't enjoy this" — enjoyment guilt
"I'm not doing enough" — inadequacy guilt
"I made the wrong choice for them" — decision guilt
"I'm not the parent I thought I'd be" — identity guilt
