So, is your son a mistake as well? Do you have any authority to declare other lives a mistake or any energy spent on you a waste? No. Of course not. That would be narcissistic and selfish beyond reason.
Now, start being positive and leave those awful negative thoughts in the trash where they belong.

Invalidation.
