Original Text
Because 2020 is when the COVID lockdowns happened and all of that support disappeared overnight. In a blur, my days turned into breastfeeding difficulties, toddler meltdowns and depression. The dishes stayed in the sink for days. The laundry pile reached impressive heights. And there was often not a path to walk from room to room. And when I should have been catching up on sleep, I would lay in bed at night and think to myself, "I'm failing. Maybe I'm not capable of being a good mom to two kids."
