Oh this was such a painful read ! From a mother who understands how your life can be pulled from under you with the weight of responsibility that comes from being a new parent, or a parent full stop ! Then add in hormones sleep deprivation, trying to live up to expectations, the shaming that goes on , the standards we ll never meet !! Is it any wonder that we are not a bit off centre after all of this thrown into the mix !! I hope that you are being kind to yourself these days ! There’s no prizes for being a martyr - I learn that the hard way . And self flagellation is so overrated 😎🫣
I'm just seeing this now and love your work even though I can feel your pain . so glad you made it through that period of your life. i hope it made you stronger even though no one should have to go through that. sending virtual hug and love .
"I crumble,
fold into myself,
try to feel something,
steal heat from the shower rain."
