When a mom says

 When a mom says, “I’m losing my mind. I need help,”

and the response is, “You got this,”
that’s not support. That’s dismissal.

She just told you she’s not okay.
She doesn’t need a cheerleader. She needs backup.
She’s exhausted, touched out, overwhelmed, and still doing it all.

Telling her she’s strong doesn’t lighten the load.
Showing up for her does.

Hold the baby, bring the food, sit with her while she cries on the kitchen floor.

Listen when she says she’s struggling.
Believe her. Help her. Don’t wait until she breaks to take it seriously.
