I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS ME...
When I was a young mother, it would have never occurred to me in a million years what my REAL problem was…
I was already 100% certain of what MY problem was: My problem was ME!
I was incompetent, my parenting skills were atrocious, I had been failing constantly since the beginning of motherhood, and I was obviously not meant to be a mother.
My feelings of failure often morphed into anger towards my daughter... which made me feel guilt... which propelled me into more anger... which made me feel like I was failing life itself... :(
I had no idea that my experiences might be common.
I had no idea that MY failure was ALL of our failures... that MY rage was ALL of our rage!
I didn’t realize that maybe I wasn’t alone… and that I wasn’t unique at all!
I simply couldn't handle the environment in which I found myself...
an environment that is too hard on mothers!
You ARE good enough!
You ARE meant to be a mother!
And you are not alone!
