Now that our babies are a few months old, how are you guys coping? How are you finding motherhood? Are there any of you without a village?

I believe in mental illness and believe in seeing a doctor or therapist for guidance/help. What I hate is people coming out of the woodworks after they commit a crime because they refuse to take accountability
