Weeks after coming home from the hospital with my first child, I would
take the train into the city to see my mother. As I rolled the stroller
along the narrow platform, I thought about pushing my daughter onto the
tracks and watching the train kill her. What stirred this thought was
the absolute shock that the only thing between the life and death of my
child was a moment’s impulse.
“I want to make sure that, as the public conversation about childfree women rolls on, we who have chosen the childfree life because of abuse and trauma don’t get left behind, as “old-fashioned” examples, people who have nothing to in common with the cool, independent, modern role model women who are choosing to not have kids.“
Happy Mother’s Day
