Mothers hold a spectrum of private burdens, from mundane parenting frustrations to harrowing emotional struggles. Some mothers wrestle with identity issues while managing children's growing pains. Confessions frequently involve relationship and marriage strains, in-law conflicts, and the effort to shield family from personal worries. Suppressing concerns often prevents open sharing, but pressure can lead to emotional overflow and confession. Anonymous outlets offer a channel for disclosure and connection. Weekly social-media callouts invite anonymous submissions, and archived confessions allow readers to compare experiences. Sharing can reveal commonality and lessen the perceived severity of individual struggles.
Whether she's dealing with the growing pains of raising children or just really struggling with her own identity, there's a lot happening in a mom's life that she can't always share out loud. Not all of it is bad or super secretive, but releasing things usually means someone's going to have a reaction - and moms will do just about anything to keep everyone happy and safe and free from her worries and thoughts.
So that means sometimes it boils over - and they've got to confess. This installment of Scary Mommy Confessions includes everything from relationship and marriage issues to in-law woes, and you're sure to find at least some degree of relatability in these confessions. And if not, at least you can reflect on your own confessions and compare. Maybe they don't seem quite so dire anymore, huh?
