Wow, I wonder why. I certainly don't feel like one lately. But thank you.

And thank you for the advice, it's all excellent. I do feel very fearful that whatever personal desires and needs I've been able to carve out for myself will all get wiped away once I'm "XYZ's Mom". It seems like everyone has said those things don't matter anymore, that your priorities change. I hope that's true, but what if it isn't?
