I spend time each day on a message board for moms. It is an amazing place – with so many people to give advice and cheer you on. Of course there is drama, you can’t have thousands of women interacting without drama! As you get to know other moms on the boards, some you admire and some you don’t. One mom I look up to is fighting Postpartum Depression. I thank god daily that I do not have to fight this demon. She is working hard to make the changes to her life that she needs to get through this tough time. Another mom is raising her 6 month old daughter completely on her own. I can’t imagine being alone with Sugar Plum, with no help. I love this girl so much, but I am not sure I could do it without my husband to cheer me on. I have learned so much from other new moms – I can’t thank them enough.
That’s a sweet posting. I had terrible post partum depression after I had Alyssa. It was a nightmare and so scary.
