| JerzyGirl | Posted – 7/2/2007 12:00:33 AM | show profile Time not as vital as perspective The five years is arbitrary. I simply want to connect with mothers who have some emotional time and distance from the time of "recovery." A few years probably assures that there is some perspective about the experience and -- this is the most important part -- they are able to articulate how/if they think PPD has affected them. I'm not looking for the stock, "Oh I was a mess, but now I'm fine and I love being a mom and everything's dandy." |
