The very damaging, frightening part of postpartum is the lack of perspective and the lack of priority and understanding what is really important.
Humour has always been a self-defence mechanism for me.
'Suddenly Susan' is my life.
The truth is, I like my body more when it's thinner. I have a range of jeans, and I'm happier in the smaller ones. But I don't have the same drive to get into those jeans. I'm not going to change my day to get there, whereas I used to.
I think I'm going to have to live vicariously through my daughter's rebellion because I certainly never did go through adolescence.
