Happy tears are my fuel. I became a mom at 17 years old. 10 of 10 on the ACEs test. I had no one person to mirror. I still rocked it.
My kids are 3 of the best people I have ever known.
I'm so happy for you that you had such a positive experience.
Just beautiful. Thank you Dr. Julie!
I'm 34 turning 35 this year, and I'm scared that I will never have the opportunity to have children. I've supported myself since I was 17 and I worry that I won't find a partner to build a family with. I'm petrified that if I choose the wrong partner I'll be left to raise a child on my own, and that we will be destitute; and that's in the best case that I do find a partner. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place; and it's a very painful place to be.
Don’t let fear and worry dictate your life, that is far too much pressure you’re putting on yourself love! Guard your heart yes, but be open to experiencing life and give yourself grace one step at a time. The right therapy can help you navigate if you need extra help like I did. Trust that "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." 💛🍋🌻🐝

I found hurtful these kind of comments for the women who cannot have children because of medical issues especially because I know so many women that are jealous of childless marriages who say they love their children but it is just too much stress and work.
