Summary

Every now and then I get an email from a Shameless Mom that just blows me away. A couple weeks ago I got one such email – detailing a mama’s struggle with her current relationship with an addict and her past decision to terminate a pregnancy. What was so overwhelmingly touching about this email was that a lot of the email was about how HAPPY this mama is. That 96.34% of the time she is extremely happy, caring, empathetic, and grateful. But then there was the admission that, “the murky undercurrents of my past sometimes swirl with the polluted storm of my present; and my sunny disposition is immediately overcast by a darkness so ominous and pensive, that I fear I will suffocate under all the darkness......” I asked this Shameless Mom if I could share her story and do some processing on this episode and she so kindly agreed. To any mama who has struggled to make peace with your past or is currently struggling to find peace in the present, this is for you.

0:49.7	episode. out. Hello, shameless moms. Happy Monday. Okay, let me tell you really quick that I had hoped to give you a
1:07.7	kindergarten update today, but I'm recording with Vinny at home, and he's right on the other
1:13.6	side of the wall from my office, and he might be he's dropping. So I'm not going to give you the full
1:18.2	update today. This is the first time I've recorded since he started school. Overall, it's going
1:22.4	great. If you see on Instagram, I've made a number of posts. One of the posts was talking about how no one warned me
1:28.7	about day 10, because day 10 is where the ish hit the fan. And that was not a great day. But all the
1:35.9	other days have been pretty darn good and it's been pretty cute and pretty fun. So I will have
1:41.2	more of an update on that, hopefully next week. So one of the challenges has been adjusting to the new schedule. And I will have more of an update on that hopefully next week. So one of the challenges has been
1:45.5	adjusting to the new schedule. And I actually have him in care less hours per week. And so he's doing
1:52.1	extended care three days a week, which means two days a week. He gets home at three o'clock,
1:56.1	which is like a whole new world to me. Because at his old daycare preschool situation, he was there until between
2:02.5	five and six every night. So I am not good about being disciplined enough to be done with my work
2:08.8	by three o'clock. I'm working on it, but it's not going super well so far, which is why it is now
2:16.3	506 and I am recording while he's playing. And honestly,
