My Story

Lost as a Wife and Mother

Before meeting my husband and becoming a mother, I had a wonderful and fulfilling career in the corporate world. My priorities shifted when being a wife and mother came into the picture. When my son turned 2 and his nanny left, I had to retire early and be a full-time mom. This was not a hard decision to do. I wanted to focus on home management and caring for my first ministry, our family. But things became difficult…

The first 3 months of being a full-time mom was a test of strength, patience, relationship, and personal validation.

Though I was caring for our son in between work before retirement, I didn’t know how much I did not understand or know him. I was clueless about his cues and toddler tantrums.

The husband’s work was cities away and usually comes home late at night and left before the first light of day. I was slowly disengaging from my husband. It was hard for me to understand my husband who I unconsciously ignored because I was overwhelmed with motherhood.

And in August 2013, I was shaken to my core when our son was hospitalized for a week. It gave me time to think over the things that had been going on in the last 3 months.

Your most valuable parenting skill is learning to manage yourself first.–Dr. Laura Markham

I was lost in motherhood because I was looking for validation if I was doing OK as a mother. Which also meant that I was ignoring my husband because I was too busy looking for my validation.

And it all boils from one thing: I didn’t think I was enough.

Three A’s: Awareness, Acceptance, Accountability

In the next weeks after our hospital staycation, I looked deep into myself to understand myself better. To be a better mother and wife, I had to be better as a person.

Once I became more aware of my needs, I was able to fulfill those. And when I was more loving to myself, my relationship with my husband and my role as a mother became better.

Since then my goal was to be aware of who I truly was as a woman and acknowledged all that is good and lacking about me. With acceptance, I was able to be more accountable to my life and the lives around me.
