“I poured everything into my salon and my family as a way to avoid my pain. My clients would compliment me on my ‘beautiful smile.’ My thoughts were, ‘If they only knew what was inside my head.’”
“My child ended up on the floor in a fit because they demanded a cookie for breakfast and I wouldn’t give in. One of my children needed to ‘go poopy’ on the way out. The toddler thought it was funny to hide and couldn’t be found for over ten minutes.”

“We’re expected to return to our pre-pregnancy bodies a week after giving birth. We’re expected to always be grateful and happy, even during diaper changes and tantrums. We’re expected to have a spotless home even with the kids making a mess at every turn.”
