Ooof...
Yeah, the feels are definitely strong with this one.
Very well Made, shows the struggle parents can have. Frankly, i always wondered What about sunburst's Father and starlight's Mother.
Truth Hurts, that one song I know about but am not the biggest fan of.
But this is a really cool story, and I enjoyed it.
Nice story, very relatable, if not in the parenthood sense, then as hindsight and regrets.
Quick check, them or us?

Them- as in the mistakes Stellar and Firelight made in trying to do the best they could for their kids.

Ah, that makes sense.
I really, REALLY love your telling of Steller Flare and Fire Light. You capture what, I believe, is a true representation of both parents, their situations, and how parenting is far from ever being easy.
I was reading an article recently that talked about "Transition Items". These are items that babies grow close to when their mother starts to give them more time to themselves. These can range from blankets, to teddy bears, to even diapers. The common thread is the infant holds on to that particular item as something to remind them of what their mother did to show love. It's a child's first coping mechanism for not being the full center-of-the-world from the parent.
Your introduction of Sunburst's blanket and how he now wears a similar cloak hit this nail right on the head. Sunburst may not ever realize it but the attire he wears likely became quite relevant when he went away to Celestia's School For Gifted unicorns. He missed his mom, he was stressed out over how he wasn't living up to the expectations, and he needed something to comfort him. So, instead of getting a 'blankie', he found an outfit that helped him feel better. The outfit called to him in a way he could not ever fully understand but, deep down, it was his wishing to feel as he did when he was with his mom and everything was right in his world.
The remark on them not understanding until they have foals of their own is also very true. I have a 12 year old who is going through quite a lot in Middle school. It doesn't help that his dad recently had to leave work due to PTSD and a series of panic attacks. It also doesn't help his mom left him to be with another individual and has no intention on ever living under the same space ever again.
Our son is in therapy to help with this but I wonder if, in some way, he, too, will come to acquire a 'transition item' to help him calm down when his anxiety is at its worst?
Overall, I like how this story fills in the little gap when we were focused on Starlight and sunburst instead of with fire Light and Steller Flare.
Thank you, F.D.R., for this story. I loved how you made this fit into "The Parent Map' episode so seamlessly. Clap! clap! Clap! Wonderful job! This one hits close to the heart and enjoyed the introspection of both Firelight Glimmer and Stellar Flare. Looking forward to your next story posting!
Right in the feels. Believe it or not, the fates you mentioned for Sunspot and Starlight's mom are along the lines of what I thought for them too.
People say the truth hurts. Hell no, it hurts even more if you do a whole bunch of foolishness to try and avoid it.Sometimes being honest with someone or hearing the truth hurts, but it is always better to be honest and accept what is.

Nothing hurts more than the fact that there is no "WE"
not "you" and "me"
no love before, no more words
you promised that I would hold against them
yea to them, those who love thee, those who are contrary to what we have
they who oppose us, we who with love have built, have built you and me.
"TRUST, TIME, ATTENTION, LOVE"
words gradually lost to us, lost because of you,
you who give up, you who destroy what we have. Over time,
the day will come when I am angry, I am afraid that I may be wrong,
it is wrong to love you, it is wrong to fight for you and it is wrong to continue.
