Motherhood should not be contemplated as a way to alleviate mental illness, whether it´s depression, anxiety, anger uncontrolled etc.
Motherhood should be born out of compassion and a genuine desire to give life.
I also think that women who suffer form different mental illnesses should attend some sort of therapy and stay focused on recovery and making progress. Enjoying life, getting reward from their own achievements and learn to love themselves instead of waiting for the world to love them.
Being a parent is a life changing decision, first because we are responsible for educating another human being, how can you educate someone in loving him or her self when you don´t know how to love your self?
How can you teach a child what self respect or self esteem is, if you do not know that your self?
How can you teach a child to enjoy life if most of the time you are depressed?
We need to recognize that raising a child involves love, patience, intelligence, perpetual devotion and finaly the greates love of all is to offer a child a parent that is both mentaly and financialy healthy.
