http://omegamom.com/2006/01/04/baby-shock/ A "good enough" mom muses about alpha moms, adoption, computers, the State Of The World, Internet quirkiness, and the Kosmik All Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:35:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 http://omegamom.com/2006/01/04/baby-shock/#comment-113 Anonymous Wed, 26 Apr 2006 04:52:00 +0000 http://omegamom.com/?p=61#comment-113 Awesome post. Describes almost prefectly what the first 3 months home were like with my daughter. Fortunately, I returned to work after 3 months, developed some balance in my life, and was finally able to enjoy parenting. I cannot imagine being without her now, but those first months were some of the hardest of my life. Awesome post. Describes almost prefectly what the first 3 months home were like with my daughter.

Especially the "resent your spouse" part. Everyone in the family has to suddenly find a new position. This is especially hard with other children, who resent being moved down the ladder. I expect the adoption to be pretty tough, too. No that expecting it makes it much easier to bear!

Because otherwise, I would just totally suck. I feel, after reading this, that I might suck the tiniest bit less. I mean I know about PAD, I know about Pre-Ad. I know all about the big D. But still. Thanks for writing so clearly and insightfully about it. Yeah, I’m with Chicagomama. I heart you. Because otherwise, I would just totally suck.

About two months after our son came home I realized I was in a very low place and I did research about PADS. My mother thought I should just 'snap out of it' until I showed her that this is REAL! Have since been doing MUCH better. It is so good for others to know that they are not alone. Thanks for putting this out there.
