This is the BIG question, my big question. It’s a funny question, which maybe shouldn’t be asked since that, if the answer is NO, I would have a choice between sacrifying a part of myself or leaving my family. The latest is obviously not an option, since that too would mean sacrifying a part of myself. This is why most people’s answer is that “you have to sacrifice a part of yourself!”. So basically the only way you can avoid sacrifying yourself is to enjoy Motherhood. The more you LOVE it the better it gets, the better we get! I see now why on a spiritual level Motherhood is important, we are not just perpetuating the race, we are contribuating to make it better. Now that makes much more sense to me and it is a much more liberating approach than the one when I felt we were cheated into motherhood but that once we were there, embracing the big illusion, we realised it is one big Lie! And as Bruce Muzik said, we cannot lie to ourselves and be free. So now that I know, at least that it isn’t a big Lie, that there is something deeply meaningful behind it, the next question is “How close/far am I from Loving it!”
