Women have always felt this way

I know all of you want to clutch your pearls and pretend life is a Disney movie, but there has always been a shadow side to motherhood, it is not all happy and wonderful, that’s what life is, pretending otherwise is what’s maladjusted
As a woman you often feel they your body doesn’t fully belong to you, men use it to get off, you have to share it with other human being, you have to use to feed another human being, your needs have to come second as a mom, this is hard, stop pretending it isn’t
Men get to stand there with their ownership over the bodies fully intact and point fingers at women for not fully enjoying their lack of bodily autonomy. I’ve had enough of your whining. If any of you had to be moms you would have a mental break down on day one
Motherhood is beautiful powerful and complicated but beautiful, powerful, complicated things are not always pleasant. Her feelings are normal, she is human. She needs to make space for those feelings and integrate them into the self, not pretend they aren’t there
Men cannot handle the female Id, they cower in fear and throw tantrums because they hate their moms for not doing everything perfectly
Everyone who’s upset by this post has unhealed mother wounds, several years ago it would have also upset me to read this because it would have reminded me of times when my mother failed to make me feel loved, now I know she was only human. Forgive your mom already, you’re torturing yourself
