I had told Kathy I think it was that - to be a birthmother - is to understand the true meaning of "regret".
Not that other people don't also of course. I imagine that everyone has regrets. Except sociopaths maybe but then I wouldn't want to be one of them.
Regret is a powerful thing. The angst over what might have been, coupled with the despair of what wasn't.
