That moment when you watch an episode of House and suddenly realize it feels way too familiar.

That kind of neglect can have consequences for mothers going through a difficult transition. #Motherhood #Relationships #Postpartum

Like this is my fault, people are going to feel sorry for you. They'll tell you that you can't anticipate the unthinkable of the fact as you can. It's just not all that pleasant. You don't know anything. I know that people don't get crazy enough to kill someone without first being crazy enough for someone to notice. How many times did you go for a drink because she was crying? How many times did you stay at work because you couldn't listen to her telling you what a bad mother she is? You were relieved when she shipped down. Just sat staring for hours in time. She held the pillow over his head. You slept while she went nuts. Before she killed the children, she was home with the kids for two days. Is that right? Right. If you had to say you also had your friends that you would do brunch with on occasions and days or weeknights or whenever go a guy's night, type thing. Yeah. And you'd be out with your friends when she wanted to kill the kids. She certainly could have done it that time when you were out, right? You didn't. As opposed to sending you on a three-minute trip to CVS and a nine-minute trip to a restaurant, you were away for two days in November and on a number of occasions for brunch as well as skiing, right? You were pretty active, yeah.
