People talk about this like it's an epidemic of mums who never ever want a break or to share the load with a normal healthy coparent. Those who have to parent solo often have to because the other parent is abusive. Think before you label it as anything other than an act of child protection. She's not "bitter" or "psycho" she's hard working and protective. What's best for kids is not having an abuser in their life and she was brave enough to hold the line and say "the cycle ends with me."

Dr. Gabor Maté shares a heartbreaking yet hopeful truth with Joe Rogan: ADHD often isn’t a broken brain or genetic curse—it’s the tender survival strategy of a tiny infant who absorbed too much parental pain and stress, with nowhere to run or fight back. All a baby can do is tune out. That disconnection gets etched into developing circuits... and echoes through a lifetime of feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or “not enough.” But here’s the healing part: because it’s rooted in early emotional wounds, it can soften and shift through genuine connection, compassion, and attunement—even years later. In a world where childhood stress feels more common than ever, this perspective touches something deep. It reminds us how profoundly we affect the little ones around us—and how much grace we all deserve.
