I also realize I don’t want more kids, I just want to experience my babies as newborns again. I was in the trenches and didn’t even know it.

I think I'll always feel robbed of the experience because I was fighting to exist. 💔

Or you can’t remember things from being in survival mode 😭

That’s why I’ll never have kids again. It’s a betrayal to my son to bring forth another life and when I didn’t even get to enjoy motherhood or my baby at all because I was in survival mode. If he didn’t get that version of me, no other child will.

I have a theory that this is why people that wanted to be parents are such great grandparents bc they know how fast it goes so they soak up what they missed! ❤️🤞🏽

Mothers need more support. Not a 6 week apt when the euphoria is still up and I’m not sleep deprived and depressed as fuck yet. I just want help so I can be here. Like really here not out of body 24-7. I miss me.

Postpartum depression robbed me of enjoying my son’s newborn phase. 😔

I understand you completely. It’s devastating I cry about it often especially when I look at pictures. Post-partum psychosis, depression and anxiety robbed me of my daughter’s first two years and a half. It took me forever to recover, but glad I made it. Now I can finally give her all the love and attention that I couldn’t in her baby-toddler years. 😭😔

I think a lot of mums carry guilt around this quietly even though they were doing the best they could at the time 🤍

My kids are 20, 15 and 14 and I don't remember so much... the pain of wanting to go back and do it over, slow it down and make it better is sometimes suffocating.

Yep! I look back, it’s so sad, realizing how much I missed. Work M-F, rush kids to school/daycare, then to work, then to pick up kids, rush to get home and started dinner or figure out dinner cause we’re rush one or both kids to sports practice, then bath time, and then bedtime. So one would have weekends free. Oops don’t forget laundry and cleaning the house and paying bills. Never ending rush. I have glimpses of memories.

I became a mom too young, had horrible ppd and severe post partum anxiety on top of undiagnosed adhd/autism. I stood no chance tbh, but she's almost 19 now and we are very close, I feel terrible for not being the parent I should've been when she was so young
