Is Mothering Wearing You Out?
Part 1
by Margaret Paul, Ph.D.Page: 1 2
I always wanted to have children and I was completely thrilled when I had my first child. Nothing, however, prepares a mother for what it's like to be responsible for a child 24/7.
Before my son was born, I had time -" time to read, to be creative, to spend time with friends, to take long baths, to spend time with my husband, to breathe. Suddenly there was no time for me. And, of course, after two more children, having any time for me became even more challenging.
That's when I started getting sick. Not sick in the way you could name it -" just sick in the way of being fatigued all the time. As much as I loved being a mother as well as continuing my practice as a psychotherapist, I was wearing out. Something had to change.
The real problem was in knowing how to take care of my children and myself, instead of just taking care of my children. I had been brought up to be a caretaker, which meant that everyone's needs came before mine.
That was really what was wearing me out. Not only that, but putting their needs before mine was creating children with entitlement issues "- the more I put myself aside for them, the more they demanded and felt entitled to my time and attention.
Unfortunately, I didn't discover this problem until my children were adolescents. By that time I was headed for serious illness. My immune system was shutting down and various doctors said I that if I didn't change my lifestyle, I would end up with cancer or something equally serious.
It's not easy to start to attend to yourself when you've always put others' needs before your own. Yet for me it felt like a life-and-death situation. I had always been afraid that if I said "no" to my husband and children, I would discover that they really didn't care about me.
I was afraid to find out that they wouldn't support me in learning to take care of myself. Yet I finally reached the point where I was willing to lose them rather than continue to lose myself and my health.
It was at this point that I began to develop a strong spiritual connection, and Spirit eventually guided me toward a self-healing process which we now call Inner Bonding. (Go here for a free Inner Bonding course.)Page: 1 2

Even nowadays a man can't step up and kill a woman without feeling just a bit unchivalrous.
