Postpartum Depression

Nothing like another fight with DH to make things worse....

Ever since I got pregnant, things with DH have gone to #$*^. We planned this pregnancy, but in the back of my mind, DH wasn't ready and still isn't ready to give up his drinking habits. It's really hard to cope with PPA when I have a husband who insists on going out for business networking happy hour and coming home drunk and trying to fight. This isn't the man I married and he doesn't understand what I'm going through with PPA. I feel like he is the reason I'm having to medicate myself to care for my child without stress, but I have no choice right now. Last night resulted in such a big fight, that I almost packed LO up and left him. I just can't do this anymore, I'm mentally exhausted :-( Thanks for listening, I'm just so alone.

  • I can only imagine the difficulty of your situation, but know that I've read your story and you have my sympathy.  PPA is hard enough as it is..

     Your son looks sweet and wonderful : D

  • Do what you feel is right for you and your lil one.. My husband hasn't been around much.. OTHER PRIORITIES! :( I have been doing it (raising boys alone) for awhile. To the point, my mind/body couldn't do it. I broke down went to see dr. She put me on Lexapro and to see a counselor. It has been 2 weeks, so far so good. I was skeptical on the counselor but I actually enjoy it. GL
