Money isn’t just for buying kids fancy clothes and things you might think are ‘unnecessary’. Poverty takes moments like this away from kids. Money means you won’t be looking into a microscope for the first time in university. Money means ballet, piano, sport, IMAGINATION.

It’s death by mental illness. Kind of like how someone can die from cancer. They had it, it attacked their body, they fought and then they died. Only difference is that in the latter people blame the cancer but, after suicide, people blame the person who was ill.

I don’t want anyone ever telling me that misogyny does not affect access to healthcare. In this instance, an obstetrician believes men need counselling more than women after child birth because the process strips them of their sexual attraction to women they impregnated.

Personal opinion, I think couples (more so the men) need some form of counselling following this experience. This simply comes from hearing stories of how men find it difficult to find their partners sexually attractive for months following this experience.
