No one ever tells me I’m a good mom

I’m a first time mother. My baby girl just turned one year. For the past year I’ve been struggling with PPD and anxiety. I breast fed for almost 6 months which I never even thought I could get to 1 month with the mental state I’ve been in. I’m very proud of myself about that. I’ve been a stay at home mom and also I’ve been taking classes online as well since I still want to continue with school. I’m very proud of that too because I’ve passed every class despite me being overwhelmed and stressed all the time. Basically I’ve been feeling some type of way about this for a while now. I notice that my family, my man’s family, friends etc. Always say “ ___ is such a great dad” or I always hear my MIL tell my man “ she’s such a smart sweet baby, I’m proud of you__ for being such a great father good job”. My man is great father no doubt. I wouldn’t want anyone else I’m very grateful to have him in my life….. I’m just sad that I haven’t had one single person in my life tell me “ you’re a good mom”. Not even him. I know I don’t need anyone to reassure me because deep down I know I’ve been doing a darn good job at being the best mom I can be. Has anyone ever gone thru this or felt this way before? :(
