You Are the Exact Right Mom for Your Child

A lot of moms who have postpartum depression unfortunately get to the point where they feel their families might be better off without them. I know I thought my son deserved a better mom than me. That was the illness talking.

It wasn’t true.

I think every mother is the exact right mom for her child. I can’t imagine having followed through on those thoughts or having left.

I know I’m the exact right mom for my son. I couldn’t feel it at the time because I was sick.

And then I got better.

Now I know it was very brief phase in my life as a mother. So, I would say to any mom out there who’s not sure she should have done this in the first place, who’s worried that her child would never love her, and that this is a disaster: Just. Wait.

Get help. Talk to the people who have been there. Be patient with yourself.

It’s gonna happen and you really are the EXACT RIGHT MOM for your child.
