[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 656935, member: 17461"] There is a difference between sorrow, which is an empathic response having to do with another person's pain, and regret. Regret has to do with ourselves. Regret is where we say, "You were not enough to reflect well on me." In my mother's case, regret was a weird little celebration, a kind of validation that she had been right about me, that she had lived her life correctly as regards her children and the things she had done to them. [I]Because we were flawed, hated and destroyed a thousand times over and the proof of it was what happened to our children. Or, to our marriages. Or, to our economic lives.[/I] I know. Bad Cedar. Yes. Cedar [/QUOTE]
