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 Natalie, a single parent to a 9 year old after ending a toxic relationship with someone who exhibited toxic, narcissistic behaviors. She talks about her difficulties with postpartum depression, indecision about divorce, and single parenting. She goes in depth about what it was like to get her Masters degree and work full time while being a single parent and wants moms to know how important it is to take care of themselves first.
