Caroline, a twentysomething mom who lives with her parents and fiancé in Georgia, loves her 2-year-old daughter. That doesn't mean she doesn't have rough days, or even regrets. But, she's discovered, no one wants to hear about her struggles.

The first and last time Caroline (not her real name) complained about being a parent on Facebook, she "got attacked by family basically telling me, 'Tough shit, get over it,' they've been through worse, blah blah," she told BuzzFeed News. Caroline tried joining some local online parenting communities, but the people there were just as judgmental, even in the "unconventional" groups that allow moms to (gasp) swear and joke around.

So, Caroline downloaded Whisper, an app that lets users anonymously confess their secrets to millions of others across the globe.

"well maybe one day I'll see my daughter as more of a blessing and less of a burden," she posted on Whisper a few weeks ago. Later, she followed up: "I don't mistreat her in any way. and I do love her, I just also regret having her sometimes because I'm struggling being a mother...so calm down okay?"

Caroline says she loves Whisper because "when I'm hating my life at 4 a.m. and my daughter isn't going to sleep I can rant ALL I want... and then never talk to those strangers again."

Facebook, where she feels pressure "to appear perfect and in control," is now reserved for smiling photos of her daughter.
