For me, I wish I could trustpeople innocently again. I have been burned too many times, and see relatives who take advantage of each other, (financially). It seems everyone leaches off everyone else, and few will take responsibility for their own actions.

For me that would be for my mother.
She was sexually molested by her father and then punished by her mother by being made to go stay under their house!
She was a beautiful soul before that ugliness was dumped on her. Caring, sweet, shy and very intelligent.
She grew up with hate in her heart and married to get away from that terrible situation. My father. Good looking, funny, could fix anything and did. They married....ALL those kids later and my mother couldn't escape the pain of betrayal caused by her parents.
She did escape by leaving us. No food, no clean clothes, no one to care for us except a handicapped father who was already under more stress than a young man of 38 can tolerate.
He passed the kids out to family members like puppies.
It hurt to be the one not chosen, and to have my favorite sibling torn away from me. 2 were left and the damage was done.
Years later my mother died of cancer and is genuinely missed by her children. She did what she could to make amends and died with 2 of her daughters that had become nurses taking care of her till she was buried.
I know if she had been loved by her parents and didn't have those wounds she could have been famous or made a brilliant contribution to humanity.
I would get her untarnished spirit back and encourage her intelligence and beauty. In turn I would get to grow up with my sibilings and know what a family is and feels like and so would the rest of my clan.

I have always taken responsibility for my own actions because that is my belief. If I could get back ONE thing in life it would be my HOME. I was divorced from my first husband and got the house. It was a modest home but with a great view, landscaping, garden, bb ball hoop, green house. Then I met and married my second husband. We sold my home and moved out of state. The marriage ended in divorce and I moved back to my home town to be near family and friends. It has been a very humbling experience. Especially now that I am in my 40's and raising two children alone......again...... and pretty much starting over. It sucks. Was a very stupid thing to do to sell and walk away from my home that was paid for for Gods sake. But......I live and I learn. Life goes on......ps...... I never leach off of anyone. I make my own way.

If I could get one thing back from life, I'd want my innocence.
I remember when I was young the problems I had today didn't concern me. Things I see as issues to deal with now, I didn't even think about back then... I never had to worry about how others would view me in regards to if it could mean that I may never fall in love and be loved in return, and I have to say that I miss those days...
Life is more complicated now, and I would want my innocence back if I could get one thing, because with it the complications would be gone.

To be a father. I would have been a good dad but unfortunately my wife could not have children. I loved her dearly and would never have left her because of her inability to have children and I never cheated on her to have a child. She passed away 10 years ago and I miss her very much but I still wish I could have had the opportunity to be a father.

I wish I could have had a childhood, I had to grow up fast in order to take care of my little brothers and sister because both of my parents were addicted to drugs.

I would want my parents back They both died so young. I miss all the love and training that they gave me. They are the reason I am what I am today. They were very loving and taught me respect for others. God Bless you for asking this question.
