I agree with Biild and would go on to say that if a person tries their best, then they have nothing about which they should feel guilty.
I regret that my son was not identified as ADHD at an early age, but I do not feel guilty about it. We did our best, and did not know. My wife, as a pediatric nurse, might have been expected to know, but she didn’t. I can’t blame her, nor would I want her to feel guilty.
(Now I suppose I’ve laid a big guilt trip on everyone who are thinking, “I didn’t do my best and boy do I feel guilty now.” Keep in mind that best is best “under the circumstances” which can’t always be 100%. We’re only human.)
