Ugh. My heart dropped into my stomach. I've done the same thing when my girl was small. Luckily my wife stepped in a put a big NO into the situation. She's always been good at that. Listening and communicating with children.

I feel you though. For me, that guilt never left, thinking I forced my child into a position of harm. Yuck.

You'll figure out now though. Now you're super aware. You'll make up for it.

That must have been tough to write. Gutsy. Good job.
