My main struggle with guilt is about how I worked the system while I was in it, and forced my kids into it. Could have been worse (I never was much good at bringing friends to church and "witnessing", thank God!). But man, if I could do it over again, give my kids a decent chance at a normal childhood....

But no sense in beating myself up. I try to look forward. Working on healthy relationships with my kids, and with friends. (Some new friends, some old buddies still in the AG.)

We have to forgive ourselves. That's an important part of healing.
