Growing up I used to think if the mailman had a bad day, I was somehow responsible for it. I think this comes from years of having four sisters around and everyone pointing the finger at ME when something went wrong or was broken. Okay, okay, so I WAS the culprit, but after a while, not everything really WAS my fault. But I continued feeling the guilt.

I had an ex who tried to tell me I was a bad mom. Bahaw! What a crock. I was and still am an excellent mom and I don't mind telling it. So that was the end of my guilt trips and I have him to thank for it.

I started asking myself (when guilt would arrive) IS THAT TRUE? Usually, it wasn't. If it wasn't, I dropped it.

Just asked yourself...is that true?
