Belle had several miscarriages and unsuccessful IVF cycles before eventually becoming pregnant with her daughter naturally.
It was a baby she and her husband had waited long and hard to have.
But shortly into the ride of parenting, Belle says she was asking herself: "Why the hell did I try so hard to have this child?"
Feelings of regret began to increase as her daughter, now a tween, aged.
Interesting saultory tale as it's rarley discussed.

I’ve always found regret to be a pointless emotion. Don’t dwell in the past. The harder you think being a parent is, the harder it will be. Children are there to shine a mirror back at you, for you to do your shadow work. You can’t heal the trauma from your parents until you become them and do better.

I've always found comments like yours to be an almost pointless read. Dont dwell on idiocracy. The harder you think about a comment like this , the harder it is to keep all your brain cells functioning. Your brain cells are there to let you know when something is to be ignored, for you to stop wasting you time and sanity. You cant heal your brain from the negative IQ comments from your local ignoramuses until you become competent and realize that you must completely ignore them. 😂🤣

Wow not only did you read my brain rot comment, but you commented on it in a style almost like a parody. Big brain move bro!
