When I woke up at 6am this morning to feed “L” and watch last night’s Private Practice on my DVR, I didn’t imagine it would become the subject of my post today. SPOILER ALERT! Don’t read this post if last night’s PP episode is on your DVR and you want to be surprised. For all you other mamas… help me to understand.
I have been blessed with a wonderful husband who was a tremendous support system before our daughter arrived and has kicked it up several notches since her birth. I haven’t experienced even a moment of the baby blues and I know how lucky I am. Seeing Violet’s character not be able to connect with her baby was so sad for me. I feel a tremendous connection to “L” and I have since the very first time I saw her, which was in a very groggy state after my c-section. I know that many many women experience postpartum depression and that many are not able to connect with their little ones. Now that I’m a mom I know that I will be much more conscious when my girlfriends have babies and will do what I can to help be part of their support system.
I don’t think it’s Violet’s fault that she couldn’t connect to Lucas, she’d been through a terribly traumatic experience. But did Violet do the right thing taking the baby to Pete and leaving him there? She said she wanted to be a good mom and this was how she could do it… was she right?
