A status I posted on FB about needing a Mental Health Day, of COURSE can't stay "Drama Free"
This post:
"David comes home in 6 (or 7) days. I am getting to that point where when he walks through the door, I'm walking out, and not coming back for at least 3!!! Who's with me ;-)"
Got responses like:
Mark: "if u walk away it will show that u don't love him that much", and Stacy: "ok i will just leave it at that u don't know how it feels to not be able to be a mother i would give anything to be one and the only people who understand how i feel are ones who cant have children its very hard."
(of course, I had my Comrades.. who get it... defending my statement, and I ♥ them for that!!!)
But here is the ONE response I had to "bite my tongue" on (literary speaking, of course)... and I am posting it HERE:
"Stacy, I get it! You don't know my whole story. What I may/may not have had to go through to get My Family. But YOU are not seeing what we're saying: I'm NOT frustrated. And EVERYONE needs a Mental Health day!"

Granted, I don't know Stacy at all and I don't want to in any way judge her situation. I don't know the kind of strength it takes to struggle with infertility and I don't understand that kind of heartbreak HOWEVER...I have to say that I was a little offended by her using that painful part of her life to make mothers who need a break feel guilty for needing a break. If/when she has children, hopefully she will be able to understand: needing a break is not being ungrateful for or unloving towards your children/family! It is the opposite! Does she sometimes need a break while she's hiking or running or biking? But surely someone who can't walk would NEVER need a break from using their legs if only they could use them...
Thank you, Alicia!!!! <3
I am struggling with infertility right now, I also have 4 kids I am very grateful for. I like Candace need a break from my kids, I also reeeeally need a break from what used to fun of baby making. It like the joy of kids has become work. Every OK me need a break so their joy stays a joy and doesn't become a chore....
