The UnMothered Podcast

What To Do When You Realize Your Mommy Issues After Becoming A Mom Yourself? | Episode 40


Listen Later

When I became a mother, my heart exploded with love and I was so confused as to how my mother could be so cold to us kids.

When you become a mom, it becomes so much more noticeable how much you were Unmothered! How do we learn to do the things of which we were not taught? 

I couldn’t imagine not pouring out my very best to this beautiful baby. Now that being said, did that baby sometimes drive me crazy with her incessant crying and no-sleep days? Of course.

But my love for her outweighed all the rest. 

Let’s explore some of the emotions we may feel as we enter into motherhood through a different lens of an Unmothered.

I’ll leave you with some tips that I think would be beneficial: 

  • Seek therapy.
  • Surround yourself with a tribe of other moms, and help each other out!
  • Get good sleep
  • Write out the things you wished you had gotten from your own mom.

I will never know why my mom decided to check out of motherhood. I only have my memories and suspicions of her mental health not being at its best. You don’t have to repeat these same patterns in your family.
