Motherhood has a near-sacred status in our society. If we dare speak negatively about it, it's only to say: "Motherhood is hard, but it's worth it."

But for some mothers, it isn't. In this episode, the Sugars take on the taboo. They take letters from two women who love their children but hate motherhood. They're joined by Lois Nachamie, a psychotherapist who works with struggling parents.
