Ugh. All of this is so true. The boredom and identity crisis are what really threw me for a loop. Still working through the identified crisis issues almost 5 years and 2 kids later! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Aleks, great read and thanks for the tag! I'm really interested in that balance you mention about not scaring people but also not perpetuating dangerous myths through a vow of silence. I feel like as a society we are not getting this balance right, and our high birth trauma rates are testament to that.
Yes, it is intriguing, and now when I think about it, I feel it definitely deserves a separate post! How can we talk about both - the challenges and blessings - without inducing fear and, at the same time, without molly-coddling? I think having a space, like here, for spreading words and connecting is a good start, but there is more needed on higher and wider levels, for sure.
