Is it awful to admit that sometimes I regret having a child? Motherhood is beautiful, but it's also incredibly challenging. How do you deal with these unexpected emotions, and is it okay to feel this way?

Bilkul, yeh emotions normal hain. Kabhi kabhi regret feel karna completely human emotions hai, especially jab motherhood challenging lagti hai. Apne emotions ko accept karna aur kisi se baat karna zaroori hai. Motherhood is like a roller coaster journey. Just accept your negative emotions the way you accept your positive ones. So It's okay to feel this way.

How common is cohabitation?
Anonymous6d
Cohabitation has become increasingly common, particularly in many Western countries. Recent studies indicate that a significant percentage of couples choose to live together before marriage, with estimates suggesting that around 50-70% of couples cohabit at some point. This trend reflects changing social norms and attitudes toward relationships, where living together is often seen as a practical step in a committed relationship rather than a precursor to marriage.

I have gone through my child's death because of premature delivery. My husband is blaming me for that and taking a divorce from me. My all inlaws are against me. After marriage my husband and in laws started mentally torturing me .Nowadays I am dealing with lots of depression and stress. I am suffering sleepless nights. Please help me. How can I overcome the depression and stress caused by my husband blaming me for our child's premature death and my in-laws' mental torture, while dealing with sleepless nights and the threat of divorce?
I'm deeply sorry to hear about the immense pain and suffering you're experiencing. t’s crucial to prioritize your mental health and well-being during this incredibly time.Establish a strong support system by reaching out to friends or family members who can offer emotional support, and consult with a lawyer to understand your rights regarding the divorce and potential legal support against the mental torture.Set clear boundaries by limiting contact with people contributing to this stress and create a comforting space for yourself, focus on future,small achievable goals.Prioritize self-care by creating a calming bedtime routine to improve your sleep quality,Incorporate mindfulness meditation and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises to manage stress.Journaling your thoughts and feelings can be therapeutic, and practicing daily gratitude can help shift your focus towards positive aspects of your life. Pl remember healing takes time and you deserve compassion. Stay strong
First of all, please inform your family about what all is happening to you in your husband's home.. please don't hide anything. Mental stress is always fatal for the baby in the womb. How insanely toxic are the people who were troubling you even during the time of pregnancy. Also, your first focus should be you now. Please dont lose yourself in pleasing others. Make your husband understand in the presence of your Folks. And take a final decision. Never settle in the home where you fail to get basic respect. Life is not just about a toxic marriage.

Hey! Hope you are doing well! It's good to hear that you want to take sessions and impart your knowledge. However, there are few things to keep in mind. You need to select a topic based on your expertise, highlight the key points you want to discuss in the session, ensure you have good network connection and lighting to make your sessions even more enriching.
