would rather have my nipples bleed than hear my child cry. When my child cried, I felt a ripple of panic move through my entire body, all the way to my toes. “Do you feel that?” I asked Wes. “Feel what?” he said. “When she cries. Do you feel like, electricity in your veins?” “I believe that’s adrenaline,” he said. “Probably a mom instinct.” “So you don’t feel it.” He shook his head.
