Re: Family guilt

"If I hadn't been born, she would probably still be alive. I was a stressful baby because I had fetal alcohol effect, and it would be a lot for anyone to handle, let alone someone with drug problems. I feel guilty for being alive, because it cost my mother her life."

First off, no. You didn't cause your mother's pregnancy, you didn't force her to give birth to you. She and your birth father are the ones who are responsible for her getting pregnant, not the helpless baby she gave birth to.

Yes, it was undoubtedly hard for her but, you know what? You didn't cause any of those problems. And you can't take responsibility for her not being alive because she'd 'probaby' still be alive if you hadn't been born. Even if that's true, it's not your fault. Honestly, Nonny, believe me on that. It's not your fault.

Do yourself a favour and remind yourself of that morning and night until you believe it.

It's good that you still love your mother and want something to mark that love, but blaming yourself isn't a good thing. If your mother loved you, do you really think she'd want you to go through that? Hell, no. She'd want you to live your life and be the best person you can possibly be.

Like others have suggested plant a tree or something for her. I hope you find it helps you feel better about how things have turned out.

Take care of yourself, Nonny. ::sends hugs and good vibes::
