Hey there. Just joined the SKMB a few minutes ago so this is entirely new. Anyway, a few years ago, I got into a brutal fight with my twin brother. In the heat of it, he grabbed a hammer and smashed my Ulna (forearm bone). Keep in mind, we were only teenagers at the time. I actually think the guilt he felt after was a good thing for our relationship. Up until that point we had never gotten a long, our mother used to say we were enemies since birth, but then after, he started treating me more nicely and we finally started to get along. Bottom line: sometimes the guilt of something terrible can be good.
....welcome!, and great if painful recollection......

Good story Clinton,
and welcome.
Interesting you say 'when' you were only teenagers, considering you're 14. :)
You are right, guilt can be a good thing. But unnecessary guilt never is. :)

I have always liked how Robin Williams spoke of "Cringe worthy moments", in interviews.
Everyone has them. You deal with and learn from them and MOVE ON.
The man was a genius in so many ways.
True. Sad that he was also so tortured. Believe me after that I made any cleaning products were well away from the toddler part of the shopping basket
