Our society often insists that independence is the only way, but in reality, the strength of community and the courage to seek help enrich our parenting journey. Let's reject the myth of the 'perfect, self-sufficient parent' and open ourselves (and our families!) up to benefitting from the support that surrounds us." — Lili
