Going through ppd alone

In the heat of an argument my husband made it clear and said " you can go through this postpartum stuff by yourself, so figure it out on your own" so here I am..last time I went through it alone as well(my choice, felt like I didn't have nobody) and we had lots of marital issues. Sucks to not feel supported by your spouse, just the fact that he said that..makes me feel crappy!

    I wish I saw this sooner!! I'm in the same boat--and my LO is nearly 7 months, and I'm still experiencing a deep depression/disconnect. 
    I do believe that it has lasted this long because I have no real support from my boyfriend, the one I need it from the most. 
    It is like my family always will support me, but with a baby with someone, it makes it so hard when whom you need that support from is just uncaring about your feelings. 

    I wrote little (trying to make myself laugh) anecdotes in the Families message board while my boyfriend and I fought last night. 
    I know arguments are no laughing matter. Especially when there is so much hurt within them. 
    But, I wrote on these message boards as it is a good place to vent! Also, to know you are not alone most of all. 

    Husbands/Boyfriends really suck sometimes! It may be they don't know what to say to make it better (somehow even when we say exactly what we want them to say and they just have to repeat it haha) 
    I find that is why they say it is for ourselves to work it out. 
    *HUG*
