New study published on Gender Disappointment

[weeziewoozles]

In an attempt to educate people more on Gender Disappointment and the role it can play in post natal depression, clinical psychologist Fiona Groenewald has published a small qualitative study. She interviewed a number of mothers who had two or more boys and suffered from Gender Disappointment. I've attached her paper in case it's of any interest to you ladies. Any conclusions she's drawn from the research are obviously hers alone. Enjoy reading!

I've been meaning to thank you for sharing this for a while. I read the whole article soon after you first posted it. It's so well written, with such great insights and sensitivity for the issue. It affected me deeply and I keep planning on reading it again so I can point out specific quotes, but it's sort of too intense for me to read through right now. Anyway, thank you for sharing it weeziewoozles.

Just re-read some of this. We really need more research into it don't we?
