What is My Purpose After Motherhood?

I rattled off some details about my life, slightly nervous to bear my soul to a complete stranger. So goes it when you begin a relationship with a new therapist—one part medicine, one part confessional. Without too much warning, she asks me point blank, "It sounds like you're wrestling with ...
