“I Cut My Husband Out Of My Will” & 24 Other Mom Confessions
It’s time to let it out.
One of the most surprising things about motherhood for me has been discovering just how similar every one of our experiences can be, while also being incredibly different. We’re all juggling a million things and feeling overwhelmed, but each of us has different items sending us over the edge — and that is proven true every time moms submit their Scary Mommy Confessions for the week.
Because one person’s stress (or joy!) is not someone else’s. But by sharing our confessions and our secrets, we can relate to each other on a deeper level. Maybe you haven’t discovered your husband cheating, but you know the feeling of betrayal. Maybe you aren’t feeling especially joyful right now, but hearing someone else’s light reassures you that it will find you, too. Maybe you are just feeling extra anxious and icky and overstimulated, and reading a bunch of confessions from moms like you helps you feel a little more grounded.
No matter what, these confessions are real — and everyone deserves to get them off their chest.
Scary Mommy Confessions are a tried-and-true part of what makes our site so fun. If you want to anonymously confess, look for our weekly callouts on Instagram. And to browse past Confessions, head here.
