I owe you all an apology.
To the incredible partner who captured my heart in simpler times, to my adorable little ones who light up my world, to my family who provide unwavering support, and to my friends whom I’ve neglected for far too long: I am truly sorry.
I apologize for my outbursts. I’m sorry for my irritability, for being unenthusiastic, for shedding tears, and for failing to embrace the joyful moments. I regret not seeing the silver lining and for my lack of laughter lately.
There are days when the exhaustion of parenting overwhelms me—after countless diaper changes, sleepless nights filled with worry, forgetting important appointments, and struggling to get my toddler to eat or soothe my baby’s cries. Sometimes, after answering “why” a thousand times while battling a headache, it becomes difficult to find humor in the chaos and to maintain perspective.
I don’t wish to make excuses. My son, Aiden, is two, and my daughter, Lily, just turned nine months today. I may not be a ‘new mom’ anymore, but I am still a mother of two young children trying to navigate this journey with no clear roadmap. I constantly feel like I’m stumbling through parenting, often getting it wrong.
This apology is not just a statement of regret; it’s a recognition that the sleep-deprived, distracted, and impatient person you see now isn’t who I envisioned myself being.
I miss the woman who brought joy and laughter to those around her, the one who embraced spontaneity without worrying about the outcome. I long for the confident version of myself who believed everything would work out fine, and who had the creativity and energy to make life enjoyable.
Perhaps one day, I’ll rediscover that version of myself.
But for now, I feel lost. I’m overwhelmed by the fatigue and worries that come with motherhood, and I often just need a moment to breathe. I’m still navigating my way through challenges, sometimes stumbling when it matters the most.
Please bear with me. Continue to smile at me and try to lighten my mood. I’m not sure I deserve your patience, but I hope you’ll stay by my side for a little while longer. I believe that the joyful woman I used to be will return.
