| Remembering the Chaos… | But Life went on and the Wound Healed |
|---|---|
| Parental struggle and
tiredness… Isolation… The colic scream was unbearable… |
turned to relief with
only a few residual symptoms ended once social life resumed and still evokes negative feelings |
| Relationships were strained… Distance and closeness to the suffering baby… Feelings of inadequacy… |
but
healed but closeness to the four year old child turned into feelings of confidence in the parental role |
| Not getting
the support needed… Not being understood… Almost nothing helped… |
resulted in
low confidence
in
Child Health services and a
call for changes was still considered to have been the worst part and the need for treatment remains |
