The part of motherhood that broke me

On Motherhood: No one told me it would be this hard

It’s been five months since I wrote the piece below. I never shared it because it made me too sad to think about. I didn’t want to talk about it. I wasn’t ready.

I’m sharing it now because some healing has been done. I’m sharing it now because I know that I am not the only mother who has felt this way, who has gone through some version of this.
