"Who were you before becoming a mom? What sort of things did you like to do?" my therapist asked.
I explained that prior to becoming a mom, I willingly devoted most of my time to my job as a high school English teacher. I sponsored many school activities, coached cross country, and focused on establishing myself as a professional by attending graduate school and teaching conferences. I told her that I ran 25-35 miles a week and sang in a bluegrass band. Free time was spent with my husband or with my friends.
"Well...do you think you can still do these things now?" she inquired.
