Welcome to my Anonymom series. Real moms talking about their deepest and darkest moments – anonymously. Anonymom episodes may consist of difficult topics including miscarriage, infertility, separation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other potentially triggering issues. Names have been changed to protect the identity of the mom.
This episode features Sarah, a mom to 3 girls and a newly single parent after she reports her husband “up and left”. She goes in depth about how this separation was actually a long time coming due to his complicated history of mental illness, how she coped through this herself, and how she continues to adjust to parenting on her own. She also goes into difficulties associated with homeschooling and having children with life threatening allergies. Her wish is that moms can be less judgmental and more accepting of each other, and her advice will help you focus on what’s going right instead of what’s going wrong.
