You're not alone

I am writing this to let all parents know that they are not alone. Too many parents, whether they have a good support network or not, in some ways feel alone. I have a husband that would help if I asked, and friends and family that would do the same, and yet there have been times where I have felt alone.  I have felt that I can not cope, or I'm not a good mother.  It simply isn't true!  I do my best and I love my children, and I think that as long as you do your best, and you love your children, you should ask for help when you need it.  You will not be judged by true friends and family that really care.  I have a friend that was having trouble coping with the day to day of motherhood, she felt alone, but when she finally asked - she realised that we all go through the same.  We all go through the temper tantrums, and the pain of working out how to deal with them, the sickness and the exhaustion that comes from looking after our bundles of joy.  If you feel that you are alone - please don't. Just ask and someone will be there, even if all you want is someone to listen, they will be there if you ask.
