Well, I never feel guilty about anything that is child-related. Well, when I remember something from my childhood I may feel ashamed but not guilty. I believe it is ok. Our childhood has a large impact on us but it is subconscious. We do not connect our present life with something that happened in childhood. Usually only a psychologist can tell us about it. Well, it is right to learn psychology to be able to analyze yourself. I found a lot of books in Psychology at rapidshare SE http://rapidpedia.com . Some of them are worth reading.
OMG! the day "the stick turned blue" 23 years ago I felt guilty and it hasn't let up since. There is always something we say or do or do not say or do not do that we feel at least a twinge of mommy-guilt over. It's a part of our make-up as mothers. I believe we can choose to allow it to paralyze us and make us feel all the more guilty or we can acknowledge it, accept it, hopefully learn a little from it and then just move on. We are too busy as mothers to let something like guilt stop us from what we have chosen to do and that is be mothers to our children.
