I think it's definitely time to let go of that guilt and move on to better times with your baby, because I am sure she does not hold anything against you. You are her mommy, whom she loves unconditionally, regardless of any flaws you may have (and God knows, we all have our flaws).
As far as your "bad" times, look at it as a learning experience. You are a stronger, wiser person now that you have gone through that period in your life. I've gone through a bad breakup myself. And it did hurt for a while after the fact, but I can honestly say that I am a better person because of it. I figured a lot of things out for myself during that time. Remember, everything happens for a reason.
Enjoy your furbaby and don't let guilt of the past affect your relationship with her right now! To her, you are the best mommy in the world! |
