Sheridan has no time for anger or regret. She often says that life is moving forward, not looking back, that is why our eyes are in the front of our head, not buried in hair on the back of our skull. She often felt, when dealing with her mother's anxieties and her father's absences, that she was the grownup in the relationship.

Enjoy the ride. It's a rollercoaster
