Not saying I need the same treatment but da*m sometimes I feel like nobody cares about how I’m feeling anymore just worry about the baby
I just had my second baby and I feel terrible guilt. My firstborn has been my world and I feel so guilty because I can’t give her the same attention right now. I just had my c-section a few days ago, and I’m still very much recovering. The hormonal crash doesn’t exactly help either. I’ve let my toddler watch way too...

Children with him, don’t get me wrong at the start of our relationship I did love him, but I never felt properly in love with him if that makes sense?
