The burden of guilt
weighs heavy upon my shoulders.
Depletes, consumes me.
Guilt - Unable to see that someone
I love is suffering, yearning for
help. Needing me.
When I am struggling myself.
Guilt - My fault they are in this place.
I failed them in some way. Not
realizing just how far they have
fallen. Was not the perfect
parent.
Guilt - For being clueless of really
what to do, how to help. If
what I have done, is not enough.
Guilt - For wanting to turn a blind eye.
Flee from the occurring.
Let someone else take control
to weather the storm.
Feeling guilty.
Living with guilt.

It's hard to come to terms with our mistakes. Admitting them instead of making excuses is a good start.
Then trying to live and learn from those mistakes is for me the next step. Hopefully forgiving oneself at some point will come in time.
