I'm glad to see this comment from you as it gave me a lot to think about.

I tell my kids, "You are the only person you will be with forever, so try to be kind to yourself."

I spent so many years hating myself and that's the worst, as you cannot get away from yourself.

I wish you luck and wisdom to sort out the hardest relationship we have...with ourselves. Add any regrets and yes, it's quite a repeated challenge.
