Isolation in motherhood



I've been very quiet lately. Life has taken over and I have a lot on my plate. Being a stay-at-home wife and homeschooling mother takes alot of strength and courage. It has many up and down days, and also many lonely days. I have realized that this role is not for the faint-hearted, and at times I have fallen into this category of being faint. Most people don't understand the whys behind this lifestyle but are quick to judge you very harshly. Not every day is sunshine and roses. There are days when I just want to think of nothing, but that is impossible when there are responsibilities that need to be taken care of. So at times, I get really quiet and just stop. Without support and I mean real support from other wives and mothers it can be really hard. So, I humbly ask the next time you see a mother who may look exhausted, and want to reach out to you, maybe try to listen and have empathy for her. Alot of people only see the outside of motherhood but don't see what's going on the inside because no one cares how you are doing. Hug that sister and tell her everything will be okay in time. Just know wife and mom I see you, I understand you, and I hope that you see me too❤️๐ŸŒท
