Have you read MammyWoos blog? What do you mean no?! Get yourself over there right now, just make sure you come back! Go on, I’ll wait…

Ok, done?

I’ve been reading MammyWoos blog for a while now and I have to admit to being a little bit in love with her. Her writing, her shoes, her devastating wit – hell, how could I not have a girl crush on this woman?!

She writes so bravely, frankly and with a fabulous dark humour about her own battles with postnatal depression and I applaud everything she does.

A few days ago and a new post popped up in my reader, this is it. I settled down with a cup of tea to read, and by the time I had got to the end of the bottom of my mug and the end of the post my world stopped spinning for a second.

Jesus Christ woman, you’re RIGHT.

Thanks to MammyWoo and her (possibly gay) therapist, I had a mini breakthrough. I saw things from a new angle, in a different light. A few sentences put a whole new spin on things and I am going to read them every day until I can get my muddled thoughts straight.

If your child became poorly with an illness out of his control, how long would you punish him for?

And if you wouldn’t punish him for being ill, write down all the things you would do.

Write down five reasons why it is time to stop punishing yourself.
