The life of a woman has many more pressures than we can imagine, and it is that as they grow older, the pressure of society ends up forcing them to be mothers, even if this goes against their will, being at that time a A younger and inexperienced woman, she becomes vulnerable to recurring comments that practically force her to be a mother before she reaches 35.
Today we will touch on the case of a woman who repudiates the fact of being a mother, which is why 38-year-old Karla Tenório has decided to create a controversial online program where she helps other women who have experienced this same feeling; She is from Brazil, she is a writer, actress and mother of a 10-year-old girl named Karla.

Obviously, these strong statements leave some women a little restless, mainly because of what their own daughter comes to think when she is older and is aware of what is really happening, because it is sure that it is not easy to realize that you are the culprit. that your own mother is not entirely happy with your arrival.
This movement undertaken by Karla caused some controversy, but even more her statements, since she confessed that she never wanted to be a mother, however, at the time of getting married little by little she gave in, which in the end ended up hating, and it is that obviously everything The world was waiting for the traditional, the arrival of a baby.
"I hated being a mother from the moment my daughter’s head came out during labor. That’s when I regretted it."
One of its foundations is to ensure that by being a mother you become an excessive caregiver, basically you neglect yourself as a woman and close yourself to the world; That is why when she realized that other women also feel the same, she decided to create her program "Repentant Mother".
This movement aims to combat the social construction, based on Christian ethics, that women have unconditional love for their child, who is the image and likeness of the Virgin Mary; this idea that when you are a mother you lose your sexuality, you turn to your child, to domestic work and to care
What Karla wants is that the girls can be warned with the truth about this stage of being a mother, since in general they always paint a very beautiful picture, but things as they are, it is not entirely good, nor is it All bad, it is better to raise awareness.
We must end the romantic side of motherhood, which is very harmful for everyone, which causes sadness, depression and death. For this reason, today I invite women so that together we can create a space for the deconstruction of compulsory motherhood, receiving and accepting pain, fears, frustrations and the plurality of experiences.
