I'm never sorry for my past! I am the first in a long line to raise my babies and never leave their side. Plus I've been able to keep the mental illness at bay because of them. Like you said your past is trauma free but you still have mental illness. I could not have come this far without knowing the pain of being tossed aside by my mother and abused. I thank the lord for the experience. I believe I'm here to have and raise good children it might sound silly but the road to 4 children is a funny story in itself. Even though I regret nothing it's still surprising and painful sometimes when I realize just how much I convinced myself I was fine. But that's another stepping stone to growth. No I'm not a positive person by nature but it's a practice I have to do or depression sits in. I am thankful for my past and I am thankful cashhart helped me realize another piece of the puzzle. Happy hugs!

No matter how small, a positive change deserves to be celebrated!
