"Being a mother in our contemporary culture, is like being stabbed in the stomach repeatedly while being simultaneously criticized for making the floor all bloody." THIS. Thank you for using your voice to bring awareness.

Great piece, as usual.

Side note: Fathers need to realize the way they treat the mother of their children is the primary example they set for those very children they love and assumedly want to nurture and protect. Thus, the shitty (criminal) behaviour of the (hurt/ego-driven/mentally ill/whatever) father too often becomes instilled in the next generation and the cycle continues for another generation.

Note for the dudes: Lose the ego and operate with love and your kids will be much better for it, as will you.

(Apparently "assumedly" is not a word but you know what i mean. Supposedly doesn't fit)
