If you think you’re the only one who feels this way, I have a secret for you:
You are not!!! We all do!!!
Maybe your details are different, but the underlying notion is the same. Once you become a mom, you starting caring for, not being cared for. It does not have to be this way.
I am honored to say that I was a reviewer of the book from in which this cartoon can be found. Karen Kleiman is our most prolific writer about postpartum depression and we share a book Publisher (Familius). This cartoon sums it up perfectly.
Needing does not make you needy. Being needy does not make you wrong. Being wrong does not make you bad.
Because, guess what? You’re actually pretty great.
