“Guilt is an heirloom emotion, like a moth ridden quilt that no one can quite bring themselves to throw out”
This week I’ve been writing about ‘Guilt’ in the New York Times, and my extraordinary capacity for it. I’d love it if you would check it out, and ideally leave me a comment on the site, Facebook share or tweet it. Thank you so much.

This is a very interesting article, Ruth – thank you!
It really resonates. Thought provoking.
I’m with you – hoping that when they grow up, my children manage to find the ground between feeling guilty all the time, and calling their mum for a catch up now and then!
Look forward to reading more –
Emma.
