When Exhaustion Leads to Tough Choices

Being a parent is full of moments that test your limits—especially during those sleepless nights. When my baby was 10 months old and going through weaning, the nights felt endless. She cried so much that I felt completely drained. One night, overwhelmed and desperate for rest, I gave her a mild sleep aid. I never wanted to harm her—I just needed a moment to breathe, to recharge so I could be the mom she deserved during the day. Parenting isn’t easy, and sometimes exhaustion pushes us to decisions we never imagined making. If you’ve ever faced moments where you felt trapped or helpless as a parent, you’re not alone. It’s okay to admit it’s hard. Have you ever struggled through a tough parenting night?
