When you have a baby, love is automatic, when you get married, love is earned.

Being of service to others is what brings true happiness.

So, babies are taken from their mothers because they get temporarily insane and it's not the mother's fault. This is the thing: they shouldn't feel ashamed. They didn't cause this. It is not something they did to themselves.

That's what it is to be a grandma. All fun and no stress.

My mother never asked me to do anything she wouldn't do herself. She always taught by example.

This is a serious, serious condition that is also called postpartum psychosis. And that's where, literally, you get so bad that you end up either hurting the baby or killing yourself.

I found for me that my safe place was work. I could control my environment. I became very fastidious and detailed, and wanted things a certain way.
