[Infertility] Sometimes it's okay to vent...
So I just saw the latest pregnancy announcement on my Facebook and heard about another the other day, another friend to push away, another friend to unfollow, and I just cannot help but feel like every time this happens I'm getting slapped in the face and I know I am in good company. Being infertile isn't easy, we all know that, but should it feel like you are getting stabbed in the chest every time you see another baby announcement? I'm having a hard time finding it in my heart to even congratulate people anymore. I am becoming this bitter person who would much rather lose a friend than have to deal with the incessant "We're expecting" "Its a girl/boy!" "OOPS, baby #2,3,4, etc " "Time to start baby shopping!" "Help me plan my shower, gender reveal, announcement shoot, etc" . I know I am not alone in this, and for that I am thankful, but it doesn't ease the sting. Sometimes one just needs to cry, scream, throw stuff, be in a crappy mood, or just vent. I wish for one day every single woman would know how it feels to deal with infertility, maybe then they would approach the situation with more consideration and empathy. I keep being told, "It's not our fault you are dealing with this", "We shouldn't have to hide our news to make you feel better" and maybe those are all true, but that doesn't mean I do not have the right to be hurt by it. Thank you all for your understanding and support as I try and find my way through this maze of infertility, you are all much better friends than I am able to be right now. Praying that will change soon and I will be filled with the Peace of the Holy Spirit!
