Listening Mothers

Hey Vern: I just fixed the comments problem, so hopefully we're back on track. To follow up on our recent exchange about childless friends and the chasm separating "us" from "them," I have to say one thing that has helped is taking the initiative to seek out fellow new mums. So, in a move completely uncharactersitic of me, I joined a mothers' support group called Listening Mothers. We meet once a week. There's usually some formal topic -- secure attachment issues; falling in/out of love with your baby; asking for help etc. -- but each week finds us expressing our joys and frustrations with each other. I never thought I'd be into this sort of thing, but here I am blogging about it!

Here's to finding a supportive support group in Bellingham!
