I think this "Where do I draw the line between my choices and another’s when the consequences are entangled? " is a question I've been asking myself for my entire life and still don't have the answer to. 😂
Aww, I hope it validated your experience, even though I'm sorry that we're having similar motherhood challenges! I so long for a different way of being and caregiving but sometimes that longing just feels like resistance and exhaustion. I'm trying to accept what is more...and also just requested "Essential Labor" from the library which I'm hoping will have more ideas/solutions to how we can make systemic changes for ourselves and babies!

Glad I'm not the only one wrestling with this question! What a thing to be alive and human!
What a precious and tormenting pull—to be “just” a mom but not at all “just” a mom. 🙏
Yes, amidst all of the challenges of motherhood I'm acutely aware of what a privilege it is to be faced with these particular struggles. 💗
This is so relatable I felt like I was reading my own diary for a minute 💜

And I’m also longing for that community that you describe.
Wouldn't it be great if we were neighbors? Or we could convince all of our friends/family to live on the same street?
