The Postpartum Highway

At 3PM on October 22, 1983 I became a mom! WOW!! Maybe some women just ease right into this new role like a turtle marching into the sea, but for me it was more like being catapulted into crashing waves. If only we could enter this ocean called parenthood, gradually, getting used to the water as we go, backing up and going forward at our own pace. But there is no half in and half out, no turning around to go back to a comfy chair in the sun. Once you're in, you're in and sometimes it's hard to catch your breath.

This blog is dedicated to helping parents do the best they can for themselves and their families. Too many men and women suffer alone with anxiety, depression, guilt, shame and confusion when child rearing doesn't go as smoothly as they had hoped.

My intention is to share thoughts, insights, tips and information that will be helpful to those navigating life with children or as I call it THE POSTPARTUM HIGHWAY.
