Download Mothers of the Village: Why All Moms Need the Support of a Motherhood Community and How to Find It for Yourself AudioBook Free
So many mothers feel like something has gone out of joint, something is missing, and maybe the simple truth is that we're all just missing each other. C. J. Schneider found herself in the middle of a perfect storm after having a baby to her third child and moving to a fresh community. Conditions for misery and postpartum major depression were ideal: She was isolated, unhappy, and exhausted with three small children at home. As she began speaking with other mothers, she recognized that she was not by themselves in her connection with feeling by themselves. In her unique speech, Schneider intelligently and compassionately offers sensible advice about how to create the fundamental community that mothers need. Given the countless types of communal mothering from the past and around the world, as well as modern types of communities in which mothers are flourishing, the research is clear: Since the beginning of womankind, mothering has been a communal work. Moms of the Town affirms that as mothers connect with each other and figure out how to work with each other, despite the difficulties, they may find a piece of themselves that they have felt missing all along.
