I shouldn’t want this. I shouldn’t even think about it. But the more I try to fight it, the more it consumes me. It’s suffocating. And yet I do. I grip the arms of the chair so tightly my knuckles burn white, but it doesn’t stop the storm in my chest. The guilt tears at me like claws, scraping at my skin, telling me to turn away. Telling me to stop it before I lose myself completely. But deep down… something inside me knows it’s already too late.

Three men turn to me. "I feel guilty sometimes," I admit. "Like I'm being selfish. Having all three of you when most people spend their whole lives looking for one person." "Isabel—" Ares starts. "Let me finish," I say gently. "I feel guilty. And then I remind myself that you all chose this. Nobody was manipulated or coerced or tricked. We're all choosing this every single day." I look at each of them. "And that helps. The guilt doesn't disappear, but it becomes manageable when I remember it's mutual. We're all here because we want to be."

Jonathan I had not slept in three days. Maybe four. I had lost count. The thing about guilt is that it doesn’t punch you in the face. It seeps into you, quietly, like a drug, and before you know it, you are trembling through meetings, forgetting your parking space, drinking espresso until your hands twitch, staring at your girlfriend’s name on your phone screen wondering if today is the day she finds out everything.

The guilt. It doesn’t.

“Mom guilt? It sounds like the only thing you don’t feel guilty about is turning me down.” “That’s right. Not an ounce of guilt about that.” I said, turning my head and facing Cas with a big smile. He just rolled his eyes at me, and I turned back. “Mom guilt is when you feel guilty for not being there enough, and when you are there, you feel guilty for not doing enough with them. For working too much, not buying enough toys, or too many toys. For saying no or not being strict enough. It’s doubting yourself and feeling like a failure because you want to be the best mom there is.”

I couldn't stop feeling like I'm putting Tristan through so much already, just for I and my son, he's sacrificed a lot already, and it's making me feel so guilty. I can't even face him sometimes due to the guilt. “Aria,” He called, bringing me out of my reverie. “Yes,” “You've been doing this lately,” He smiled. I furrowed my brow confused.

His actions made me feel a tiny-weeny bit of guilt but I was having too much fun to actually take that guilt into concern. "Honestly, I'm a little tired but I was very excited for today. Sadly, you don't even remember..." I trailed off acting dramatically sad as I guilt tripped Daniel. "What is today, flower?" Daniel asked as he looked a little ashamed. "We were bringing in Danielle today." I said which served as the final blow, making Daniel's eyes shake a little. "I am such a bad father. I-" I placed my finger on his lips before he could continue bad mouthing himself. The fun was now over. I didn't want him blaming himself.

He came forward and sat on the bed. "Sometimes we do things that we never forgive ourselves for. And go on a guilt trip. I know the pain can be devastating but doing this to yourself, putting yourself in pain so you can come over the guilt, is just plainly unjust." Dad patted his hand and motioned him to come over near him. He hugged him as he came forward, pulling me along with him. "Now, run along. Today is the James Ball. You have to go there" He patted us on the back.
