Thank you so much for reading! I want to do more of starting or engaging in the conversations I want to see more of and this is definitely one of them. I both love and hate that it resonated with you! One read that instantly came to mind was Regretting Motherhood - it was a research study or interview series about women's thoughts on motherhood.

I 100% feel this, Ashleigh. These kinds of experiences are so hard, and more common than we hear about. Thank you for your vulnerability.

I feel this, especially as a single mom with an absent sperm donor.
