There is always a time when I felt like I'm drowning in motherhood and my own mind. I’ve wrestled with depression so heavy it left me numb, anxiety that stole my peace, and the quiet fear that maybe I wasn’t enough for my children. I know what it’s like to sit in the dark after they’ve gone to bed, wondering if you’re failing them simply because you’re still learning how to heal yourself. Breaking the cycle isn’t neat or easy—it’s messy, painful, and often lonely. I’ve had to face old wounds while creating a new way forward for my family, and there have been plenty of days I didn’t get it right. But here’s what I’ve learned: showing up, even imperfectly, is powerful. Our children don’t need perfect moms; they need present ones who keep trying. This space is for every mom who feels the tension of wanting better while working through her own battles. It’s a safe place for the tears, the setbacks, and the small victories that remind us healing is possible—even in the chaos of parenthood. You’re not alone here. Together, we can learn to mother ourselves as we mother our children, and in doing so, create something beautiful out of the mess.
Understanding the psychological roots of our struggles doesn’t erase the pain, but it gives us the tools to change the narrative. Each time we recognize a trigger instead of reacting automatically, or repair a moment with our child instead of letting shame consume us, we’re breaking the cycle. Healing with BPD or any mental illness while parenting isn’t about being flawless—it’s about becoming aware, practicing self-regulation, and modeling growth in front of our children. In doing so, we teach them emotional safety and resilience, something many of us never had ourselves. This space is here to remind you that your struggles don’t disqualify you from being a good mom—they are proof that you’re doing the brave, intentional work of healing while raising the next generation to know love differently.
