I think that's what I found very hard in the early days. I'm really good at compartmentlising stuff. I'm happy to be openly happy or angry. But fear or sorrow are very private and I really struggled with the vulnerability parenting gives you..

As if it's not something many of us feel but just hide away and muddle on. It's really important to me to be open about it, especially with PND affecting so many. I think it comes with the territory to fear the worst when it comes to our children now!

I struggle especially when there are tragic stories in the news. You want to wrap them in cotton wool. But equally, know they must go through hardship to help them develop.

Being a parent does make you incredibly vulnerable and I think it is very natural to be extra-aware of the potential risks and alert to them because we want to protect our children.
