When a mom says she’s losing her mind

 When a mom says she’s losing her mind and she needs 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 to be hyped up. She needs someone to come stand in the mess with her.

She’s exhausted. She’s touched out. She’s overwhelmed.
And she’s still doing everything she can to keep her home and her babies afloat.

Telling her she’s strong doesn’t make the weight she’s carrying any lighter.
Showing up for her does.

Hold the baby.
Bring the food.
Sit on the kitchen floor with her if she needs to cry.
Listen when she says she’s struggling.
Believe her when she says she’s not okay.

Help her now.
Don’t wait until she breaks to finally take her seriously.
