I agree with the others. It was a shock. It was also a terrific entry and you'll be getting a vote from me.
BTW, your writing is so very real. After my first child was born [21 years ago yesterday], I suffered from post-partum depression so badly. It took me a year or more to get out of it. I never got any sleep and she was cranky and my husband wasn't helping and I was so sorry that I'd ever had a baby at all. Most of all, I hated myself for not loving my own child. You captured all of this so very well. -Allie.
