DECREE. Comics about the life of a mother of two children

Before the birth of my children, I believed that motherhood was in my blood. Like all women on our planet. Based on movies and TV shows, I imagined it in pink hues with unicorns and rainbows. I believed it was... nothing but pure happiness and nothing more. Naive…

Motherhood greeted me with depression, emptiness, sleep deprivation, breakdowns, tears, and screams. Just when it seemed like everything was getting better, I went for a second round – jealousy emerged, the desire to escape, self-hatred, and a whole bouquet of emotions.

I thought, what kind of mother am I? Why can't I do anything right? To save myself, I began drawing comics through which I shared my pain. And it turned out that there are many of us.

Finding out that I'm not alone made it much easier for me.
