[QUOTE="keista, post: 458974, member: 11965"] Guilt. This is a feeling I'm very familiar with. Not because I have much to feel guilty about, but because I had some sort of "guilt complex", where I would feel guilt over the most random things. Things I had no control over and things that didn't even affect my life directly. It occurred mostly when I was suffering from MDD episodes. It was strange to say the least. in my opinion the guilt you feel is directly related to the anger/frustration/exhaustion that you are still feeling. You are 100% justified in these emotions, however, since you are mom and 'created' the person that is causing these emotions, there is a natural sense of failure, which manifests as guilt. That's the part of you that thinks you should "try harder" to fix things. Problem is, you have already tried the best you could. Trying again, and being unsuccessful, would just feed all the negative emotions more. To rid the guilt, you need to rid yourself of the emotions causing the guilt - the anger/frustration/exhaustion. When these are gone, guilt has no way, no reason, to manifest itself. [/QUOTE]
