To be honest, motherhood is challenging, scary, and unpredictable. It can take an emotional toll on you. When we think about becoming a mother, we get excited to be the one our child looks for when they need a sense of comfort or to be cared for. And we are, but when the time comes, sometimes we realize this role is a lot harder to fulfill than we imagined. As we start to feel negative emotions related to our child, our spouse, and/or ourselves, we’re in a world of shock. Then comes the feelings of guilt and fear about asking for help because of possible judgment of what others would think when we, “knew what we signed up for as a mother”.
