by Emma Coburn

Is there something on your mind that you’d really like to tell someone — just not your actual friends and family? Well, the Scary Mommy Confessional is the perfect place for admissions of that nature. Which is probably why a lot of submissions have to do with relationship woes. In this week’s roundup, you’ll find everything from marriage regrets to resentment of a partner’s unemployment — along with a healthy dose of confessions on other topics, like postpartum struggles and “friends” who don’t really show up for you.
