Ayelet Waldman Husband Quotations

If a good mother is one who loves her child more than anyone else in the world, I am not a good mother. I am in fact a bad mother. I love my husband more than I love my children.

The first inkling my husband had that I was thinking about suicide was when he checked my blog.

I love my husband more than I love my children,
