In this book, you learn that baby blues does not even come close to describing the emotions that go through a parent.It is a humorous and heartbreaking look at the first year of motherhood and a peak at beyond. Using jokes and swears to get through the best and worst times may not be healthy, but sometimes it’s all we have.
Trigger warnings for depression, suicidality, parental neglect and medical trauma.
