A mother has no right to be angry with her children. She must not be tired, irritated, exhausted. "You're just telling yourself!" is what more than one woman after giving birth hears from those around her when she mentions that she suffers from depression. The social media pressure for "perfect motherhood" is palpable. But what is hidden behind the precisely constructed illusions of problem-free children and fresh, always groomed and happy mothers? This book by a renowned psychotherapist will help you understand the feelings that can overtake you during motherhood, and which mothers are often ashamed of. There is no shame in admitting to them, but it is ideal to know how to face them, or prevent them in time.
