Those first few months can be a dark dark place especially if you feel everyone is being judgmental about every little thing you do. People you don't know well (and some you don't even know!) offer 'advice' (unwanted opinions on what you are doing wrong) wherever you go. The fear that you are going to somehow screw-up this perfect little life you have just helped create can be overwhelming.<br />Forcing yourself to get out of the house when you feel miserable or even having someone over can be unimaginable.<br />Steady support from family and friends, consistent calls of 'How is your day going' where you can vent without judgement are helpfulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
