The Cycle of Suffering: When My Mother Wanted Me to Inherit Her Pain

Summary

While scrolling through my phone on a long bus ride, I stumbled across a post that caught my eye.

The poster wrote about how hard her life was growing up.

Now, seeing her newborn daughter surrounded by the love of her parents and the doting affection of her grandparents, she felt a twinge of jealousy.

She asked the internet for advice on how to adjust her mindset.

Many people offered kind suggestions, saying it was likely postpartum depression and recommending she talk to her husband or take a vacation after her recovery.
