'There came a point where I would do anything to leave the house, and in doing so, leave my daughter.'
Women overanalyze. It’s in our DNA. Women think, and overthink, when it comes to just about every aspect of our lives. Since becoming a mother, that over-analyzation evolved into perpetual self-doubt. Was I a good enough mother? Was I setting a good example for my daughter? Was I the best version of myself that I could possibly be?Somewhere along the line, I became bitter and resentful towards my daughter’s father.
He questioned how I could possibly be willing to force our daughter to spend her days split between homes. How I could be willing to miss out on half of her life experiences, and how I could expect him to be satisfied with missing out on half as well.I am simply a better person without him. I have practiced self-care more in the past year than I had in the ten years before it combined. I’m becoming more healthy. I’m excelling in my career. I’m writing more. I’m excited to come home on the days I have my daughter, and I’m even more excited toMy former self was a constant vessel of stress, and that toxicity oozed into every aspect of my life; whether at work, in friendships, or in the relationship with this little girl.
Did this play out the way I had always intended? Of course not. Society has told us for decades that we fall in love, get married, have babies, and live happily ever after.
