I Chose to Be a Mother at a Young Age

The 17-year-old "I" became a mother at an ignorant age. I was at a loss when faced with the crying and discomfort of my newborn Xiaolan, and was filled with self-doubt and anxiety. Li Jianxi was away from home for a long time due to work, leaving "I" to face the challenges of parenting alone. Communication between husband and wife gradually decreased and cracks appeared in the relationship. My mother-in-law's frequent visits and strong intervention in child-rearing caused a conceptual conflict with "me", exacerbating "my" sense of helplessness and family conflicts. Xiaolan continued to have a fever, and "I" tried various methods to no avail. I fell into despair amidst the blame from my mother-in-law and the indifference of my husband. Neighbor Aunt Zhang reached out to help Xiaolan use traditional methods to reduce her fever, and gave "me" emotional support, becoming a ray of light in the darkness.
