• When I gave birth to my son, I worried that I wasn't a good mother.
• It was hard for me to parent in front of other people. I felt ashamed of my parenting skills.
• I went to therapy and found coping skills that work for me.

After having my son nearly three years ago, I struggled with an almost debilitating embarrassment about my performance as a mother.
