Practical help for people dealing with new parenthood and caregiver burnout, plus a weekly drop-in.

“Hi, you. This time last year I was exactly where you are. No respite in sight, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.”
“You will resent them. You will hate yourself for it. Both things can be true. I wish someone had told me that earlier. Get a sitter for two hours a week, even if they refuse. Even if it feels like a waste. She'll survive. You need those two hours more than you know. And the guilt doesn't go away, but it gets quieter.”
“I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't so but you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. Honestly, getting out for ten minutes a day helped more than I thought it would.”
“Se você está começando agora, saiba que é normal se sentir sobrecarregado. Não tente fazer tudo sozinho. Peça ajuda, mesmo que seja pequena. Um vizinho, um parente, um grupo de apoio. E cuide de você também. Não é egoísmo, é necessidade. As coisas podem melhorar, mas você precisa dar o primeiro passo para buscar ajuda.”
