The Complex Feelings of Good Mothers. To Make Mistakes, Get Tired, Get Angry and Be Good Enough

Motherhood changes life completely—both outside and inside. Being a mom means continuing to try even when resources are at zero. Behind daily care and smiles, anxiety, fatigue, and guilt are often hidden. This book is exactly about that unpolished and honest side of motherhood.

To motherhood, you can approach like a carefully planned strategy: read literature, listen to experts, collect recommendations on “how to do it right.” But once a child arrives, many expectations shatter into sleepless nights, tears, conflicts, irritability, and shame about your own tiredness. In such times it’s easy to decide that you’re a “bad mother,” because it seems like everyone else is doing better. Feelings and worries arise that are usually kept quiet.

Yulia Egorushkina, a candidate of psychological sciences and a mother of two daughters, says it plainly: motherhood is not only love, but also pain, confusion, doubts, and a revision of yourself. The author helps you understand where this tension comes from and offers practical ways to restore inner support, reduce anxiety, stop blaming yourself, and learn to take care of yourself with the same gentleness you care for your child.

This book is support and a reminder that you are a good mother.

For whom is this book:
- for those who worry they can’t cope with raising children;
