I am sorry you received such vitriol about this. I am a pediatrician and am privileged to know a wide range of families and mothers. And there are many women who have discussed their regrets about different aspects of motherhood with me. Mothers are human and with that comes a complexity of emotion that is never as simple or straightforward as the cultural narrative we are told. Keep up the good work!!!

You know you’ve hit on something when folks have such a visceral, unreasonable reaction. As always, what you write is well-articulated and should make sense to anyone who is able to read and hold two thoughts at once. Thank you for writing this.
