New study published on Gender Disappointment

[weeziewoozles]

In an attempt to educate people more on Gender Disappointment and the role it can play in post natal depression, clinical psychologist Fiona Groenewald has published a small qualitative study. She interviewed a number of mothers who had two or more boys and suffered from Gender Disappointment. I've attached her paper in case it's of any interest to you ladies. Any conclusions she's drawn from the research are obviously hers alone. Enjoy reading!

Thanks Hun, i think she interviewed some of the ladies from here (I remember her asking for volunteers.... I was too scared myself ) I will certainly have a read xx

Yes, I was a volunteer hence she sent me the paper. I really enjoyed the experience.

Must have been very liberating to really talk about it IRL weezie?

It was interesting. I remember saying things I'd not really put into words before

Is it ok if I share it with my GD Facebook group Weezie? It's a private group with about a dozen members.

I think it's a really good thing that someone was interested enough to study it and hopefully to raise awareness.

I think I remember her 'advert' on ingender. But I was pregnant at the time and she didn't want pregnant women. Unless that was someone else.

You are very brave!

Wow it's quite well done so far - I'm very impressed and thank all you guys who participated!!

We had so many "researchers" who were really reporters like the lady from Slate magazine, I think a lot of us were scared off.

I asked her if I could share it on here and she said yes so I'm sure it's fine. I think she wants to get the clinical world to acknowledge it as a real mental condition so more awareness is going to be a good thing. I've not read the whole paper yet but enjoyed what I have
