I logged onto all my social media accounts and realized every profile picture was of her son. I thought she had become obsessed with him. Emily had just given birth to her first child.

In today’s fast-paced world, family obligations can sometimes feel like a heavy burden. Emily’s story is a testament to the struggle of balancing familial duties with personal happiness. Her small family consisted of her mother, older sister, and herself. Despite the challenges, they managed to get by. Emily was fortunate to meet a supportive and ambitious partner, but she constantly found herself devising ways to help her family. This is her journey of self-discovery and finding harmony between family and personal life.
I’m reaching out to this amazing community for some advice on a challenging family situation. My mom recently moved in with me under unexpected circumstances, and I’m struggling to navigate the complexities of our new living arrangement. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
