No doubt. Although I was referring specifically to online abuse.

So was I.
Actually, I was referring to a span of time on this forum itself, although it was many many moons ago. Some of the discussions got to be heated, to put it mildly. You throw being a faithful Catholic and being a good mommy in a blender, you’re going to occasionally come up with some very well-defended fortresses!!
 
Just curious as to why this topic will close in 21 hours? In any case, any information on St Gianna Mollas childcare while she worked would be most appreciated, I’m just so curious where they were while she worked as a physician.
Thanks so much everyone for your encouragement here, it eased me a lot and in the meantime I’ll try to be stronger internally and not let others affect me so much.
 
I appreciate this so much thank you. My blues are definitely related to leaving the baby, I say this because I have experienced post partum depression and it was a different feeling, it was like a dark blanket over me that I couldn’t push off and there was no reason I could find that could justify the feeling. This feels very different, like I’m just going to miss him very much, he’s my only very clear reason.
 
I have been practicing that very thing actually, in my every day moments when I’m alone (since I don’t go out and haven’t started work yet to be in the public) I’ve been trying to imagine Jesus watching me and ofcourse my thoughts and motives and I freeze sometimes like “wow that’s quite the discipline I need to practice”. So accustomed am I to allowing to linger any flippant uncharitable thought or Ill be frank, I let out a curse word sometimes more than I have in YEARS, all because I had a baby and perhaps I’m stressed (but joyful to be with him) It’s the oddest thing to form a bad habit out of such a blessing. Anyway, when I do let it slip out of frustration I feel so ugly and I apologize to Jesus. When I try not to feel too bad I think of St. Peter, I think, if I’m not mistaken, he cursed once (?), because I can get very down on myself. But I am learning that when we fall it’s just best to get back up quickly in prayer and not dwell on human error.
