Itβs almost as if Motherβs Day is in mental health month on purpose. Having a healthy mentality is so crucial when you are in the role of motherhood. Basically, when youβre a mom itβs like youβre the president of your own little society of children. You love on them. Provide for them. Learn from them. Teach them new things, and old that feed your inner child. There isnβt a user manual. If youβre trying hard every day to be the βperfectβ parent please give it up. Perfection isnβt real. Youβre going to make mistakes. Youβre going to lose your s**t. Youβre going to have times where you cry with them, and yes. Moms itβs ok to show your children vulnerability. You have to trust your kids, you made mistakes why canβt they?
As Iβm going into my sixth year of motherhood, all I can do is thank God for allowing me to experience motherhood. Now I can see it for what it truly can be. I am so grateful that I have finally gained mental strength to stop accepting things I wouldnβt want my own daughter to accept. Itβs time for me to heal from a whole decade of abuse. Nobody knows how many Motherβs Day days have gone by where I have felt extremely just flat out s**tty. Feeling pressured to buy a mother a gift who doesnβt even wish their daughter a happy birthday is insane. Nobody deserves to be treated bad, but when itβs the person you should be able to solely depend onβ¦ it hits different. Baking has always been an outlet for me. Thank you to my supporters who have been patient with me while I heal/parent/work/rest. Itβs crucial that I continue to advocate for mental health because my daughters and son are depending on me. I deserve to be at peace. My children deserve to have an easy life, I donβt have the βI struggled so youβll struggleβ mentality. I am so proud of me for saying no. Itβs extremely uncomfortable, but itβs apart of my testimony.
For the moms who deserve the title, treat them.
