In 'Maternal Ambivalence: The Loving Moments & Bitter Truths of Motherhood', Margo Lowy explores the often-hidden complexity of maternal feelings. Through personal narratives and research, she challenges societal expectations of motherhood being solely joyful and selfless. Lowy emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and discussing maternal ambivalence, recognizing the exhaustion, frustration, and doubts that many mothers face. This nuanced perspective aims to help mothers confront these contradictions and find peace in the messy realities of parenting, ultimately reshaping the understanding of motherhood.
Motherhood is often seen through a lens of pure joy, but in reality, many mothers experience complex feelings that contradict this idealized narrative.
Margo Lowy's new book, Maternal Ambivalence, examines the unspoken emotional landscape of motherhood, embracing both the joys and the challenges that come with raising children.
