Having your first period & having an absent-mother
My next post will include a variety of tips, resources, practical advice & emotional advice for getting through your first period when you don’t have a mum to turn to. It also isn’t easy reaching out to other women for advice, especially when you are young.
This post is also for all of you who are older now and managed to get by through mimicking others and basically just winging it. Essentially learning ‘the correct way’ to do things a bit later on in life. When I was writing this post and doing my research trying to gather some helpful websites, I have to say I was so disheartened.
Almost every post ended in something along the lines of “or alternatively, you can ask your mum!” What sort of shit is that? I just can’t get over how irresponsible that is, especially big named brands having ‘advice’ like that on their websites. I hope my post will provide an alternative to that for you.
