Scenario

When mothers and daughters have conflicting birth narratives

My mother keeps telling me how easy my birth was compared to hers and how I should be grateful, but I'm struggling with postpartum depression and her constant comparisons make me feel like I'm failing at something she conquered decades ago.

More people experience this than they realize.
