I know that had to be hard, but I agree with your reasons for doing it. Thank you for sharing. I know that had to be hard, but I agree with your reasons for doing it.

It is great to see people talking about it. That way new parents who may think they're not normal or bad people will know that they are normal. I know that I went through multiple freak outs. I can't think of any one example to share. But I do know I went through many, and fortunately I knew that it was normal. :) Even with the subscription to Guilt Magazine.

I dropped Jake (not from great distance, but still) when he was about 3 months old. It really was WAY more traumatic for me than it was for him.

Glad to have you visit out site. I did not realize that you were pregnant. Congratulations! I went back to your site and read up on some of what I had missed. I haven't caught all the way up but I noticed that you were exploring labor and delivery alternatives to the 'normal' way of doing so. While all I had was a doula and the want to go natural for as long as possible, I would be happy to answer any questions about those things if you have any. You should also check out Emily's birth story. I believe the post is titled "Labor of Love." I'd love to catch up more on your pregnancy (even though it's almost over). Again, congratulations. Being a parent is wonderful, even though some days are harder than others. Hope you stick with us! Hey Joyous! Glad to have you visit out site. I did not realize that you were pregnant.

Thanks for the story; I am about to become a parent, and I am completley terrified. It's good to know that this sort of thing happens to even the very best, most loving parents.

I thought that if you could talk about such things, then so could I. Besides, if my story will help someone else through a hard time, then I've done my job. I'd like to think that someone will read my post and get the help they need, or at the very least know that someone out there understands what they are going through. Thanks for having the courage to post about your freak out. It's nice to know that I have someone who understands me as well :) Yeah, your post about the freak out really got me thinking.

I definitely can understand how parents would hurt their children, even if I don't condone it. Thanks for being willing to share this.
