It's alright. I do think it prepared me for the trials I faced later on in life. [ can you even be a protagonist without trauma? ] ... In any case, I do hope you're parents didn't actually leave you in the woods.
[ wait, is it better to hope they died or something instead? ]
I wouldn't even want to be a king. I certainly never spent any time wishing that was my lot in life. [which is more than can be said for having a family.]

[but it's a relatable worry - is it better to have been lost from someone who didn't look for you, or to have been orphaned?]
I think a lot of things prepared me for trials later in life, but I still wish they hadn't happened?

Yeah, me too. [ ... ] Is it privileged to say I'd take having had a happy family over kingship?
