Nobody talks about how hard it is to cut people off as a mom.
How gut wrenching it is to distance yourself from people you once loved, family, old friends, even people who raised you, because they weren’t safe for your child. Because their presence brought chaos, confusion, or pain into the space you’re trying to make peaceful.
Nobody talks about the grief of that.
How it hurts to make that decision. How you sit with it after, wondering if you did the right thing, even though deep down you know you did.
Being a mother changes everything.
You stop choosing comfort. You start choosing protection.
You stop needing everyone to understand. You start needing your child to feel secure.
It’s not easy. It’s never easy. But your child’s well being will always come before anyone else’s comfort, including your own.
