Departure from Maternity Leave: The Duality Within

Duality: an instance of opposition or contrast between two concepts or two aspects of something.

There is a tug of war at times within.
I want to return to work. I don’t want to leave my kids.
I want to leave my kids to pursue my passion. I feel like staying at home in our cocoon.

Does one feeling negate the other? Do they have to be in opposition, or can both be true at the same time?
