i had sooo many of these similar feelings and experiences- “I spent ZERO time understanding what happens to a person after they give birth, which felt like an initiation to a secret society where what you go through never gets spoken about to anyone, ever, even when you’re asked.”
Yes, yes, and yes. this is such a huge problem IMO and left me feeling bewildered and somewhat detached from my baby. Also, I think “mother instincts” are a myth- we have to learn how to be parents, just like our babies have to learn how to be humans 💜
