When I Ran Away by Ilona Bannister

dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

This book was well done. It addresses the unequal balance of emotional and cognitive labor in heterosexual marriages. It illustrates the heavy burdens mothers have to carry when their husbands don't step up and the feeling of entrapment once a woman gets in this kind of situation. It also covers grief and postpartum depression well. Overall a really solid read.
