@ashbg.motherhood: I am tired of tiptoeing around this. We have spent so long softening the language around what happens to women in the postpartum period, calling it a communication breakdown, a transition, an adjustment… that we have lost the ability to name what it actually is when a man watches his partner sink and does nothing. She grew and delivered a human being. Her body is recovering. Her identity is being rebuilt from scratch. She is running on no sleep, fluctuating hormones, and the relentless physical demands of keeping a new life alive. She is asking for help. She is asking again. She is asking in every way she knows how. And he is looking away. But here’s the thing. She shouldn’t even have to ask for help.
