Guilt is a destroyer. I am still endeavoring to destroy the guilt as it rips me apart at times. I have been blamed for many things and my intellect says this member does not have the kind of power some have given me. Make sense?
@hopeful33250 Your statement about blame not belonging to children sure brought tears to my eyes.

You are very correct as identifying guilt as a destroyer. Most of us learned the feeling of guilt when we were small children from the adults in our lives. We didn't have the mental capacity to understand why we were meant to feel this way. One of my prior therapist helped by teaching me to forgive my inner child for feelings that I didn't deserve to carry in my baggage cart. Once I forgave myself, I no longer feel guilt, and I make sure that I don't continue to do actions that will cause me to feel guilty. Understanding the truth will set us free. I hope you can talk with someone that can be of help with this situation.

I'm glad that it helped! Yes, children are never responsible for adult problems - period!
