One of our faithful readers sent us a heartbreaking letter, in which she told us how her husband body-shamed her after she had an emergency C-section. Instead of being supportive and thankful, he said that her scar on her stomach was repelling.
Dear Mary, thank you for reaching out to us and telling us your story. We are saddened to learn that your husband was so cruel to you, and that you are feeling devastated and angry. You have every right to feel this way. Your feelings are real and understandable.
Your C-section scar is not ugly. It is a sign of bravery, power, and love. You went through a major operation to give birth to your daughter, and that is something to be proud of. Your scar is a part of you, and it shows how you gave up your body and comfort for your child. It is a wonderful and strong symbol of motherhood.
Your husband’s reaction to your scar is not fair or respectful. He may have been honest, but he was also inconsiderate and shallow.
He should have thought about how his words would hurt you, and how they would damage your confidence and self-worth. He should have valued what you endured, and how difficult it was for you to heal from the C-section. He should have loved you for who you are, not for how you look.
We know that you love your husband and that you want to forgive him and not let this ruin your relationship. But you also deserve an apology, and a genuine effort from him to change his mindset and behavior. You deserve a partner who supports you, respects you, and adores you. You deserve a partner who sees your scar as a mark of your strength, not as a defect.
Here are some tips for how you can deal with this situation and talk to your husband:
We hope this helps, and we wish you all the best. Remember that you are not alone, and that you are not at fault. You are a powerful and beautiful woman, and you deserve to be loved and respected for who you are.
Mary’s story is tragic, but it’s not the final chapter. There is hope and healing for women who have been harmed by their partners or society for their postpartum bodies. And one woman demonstrated it. She took a daring step and shared her postpartum body with the world, and the feedback was incredible. Learn more in our next article.
