Listen, everybody’s got something to get off their chest, but nobody has it quite so full as a mom. Whether she’s dealing with the growing pains of raising children or just really struggling with her own identity, there’s a lot happening in a mom’s life that she can’t always share out loud. Not all of it is bad or super secretive, but releasing things usually means someone’s going to have a reaction — and moms will do just about anything to keep everyone happy and safe and free from her worries and thoughts.
So that means sometimes it boils over — and they’ve got to confess. This installment of Scary Mommy Confessions includes everything from relationship and marriage issues to in-law woes, and you’re sure to find at least some degree of relatability in these confessions. And if not, at least you can reflect on your own confessions and compare. Maybe they don’t seem quite so dire anymore, huh?
Scary Mommy Confessions are a tried-and-true part of what makes our site so fun. If you want to anonymously confess, look for our weekly callouts on Instagram. And to browse past Confessions, head here.
