If you could go back and change one thing you did (or didn't do) in your life, would you do it and why?

When they told me to go six months treatment to get my kids back, I wouldn't have pitched such a fit. Looking back, thats really when I lost my girls forever, not two yrs later after X amount of foster parents, not passing UA's and their eventual adoption in November 2008. I'll never see Ivy or Sage again-even though I'm clean now (too little too late) because I couldn't see that I had my interests before theirs. I have yet to forgive myself.

At times I've thought I would/should have divorced the ex sooner than I did. Because of my kids I put up with a lot of BS longer than I should have had to. But as it turned out, all I did was give her enough rope to hang herself. In the end it certainly worked out best for my kids and myself. So I have no regrets.

I was accepted to the Coast Guard Academy fresh out of high school and blew it off. I could be retired now with an officer's pension. But had I done that, chances are I wouldn't have my kids because I never would have met their mother. So no regrets there either.

That sounds like you deserve redemption-as long as you're no longer a bully, of course! Many blessings.

I'm sorry about your situation, you're a better person now and you need to try and forgive yourself...

As for me, similarly I regret losing my temper at certain family members and pushing them away. No matter what transpired between us it doesn't excuse my behavior. If I could go back and control myself, I would. I hope they know that I'm truly sorry for all the things I've done and I hope that someday we can start fresh. We only have this one short life and being pissed off all the time is certainly not worth it.

Sorry it was so hard on you. Yes I would change something too. I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

It doesn't have to be this drastic, and I kinda posted backwards, but what would you change and why?
