If I hadn't missed the diagnosis for my kid for 7 years, they wouldn't have struggled so much. If I'd recognized it in myself earlier, my marriage might have survived. The regret is suffocating.

I can't stop replaying what I could've done differently.

How do you move past the guilt of a delayed diagnosis? How do you forgive yourself?

One sentence that saved us: 'This isn't about blame, it's about support.' Repeat as needed, verbatim.
