Is this a sudden change in personality or do you think this was hiding beneath the surface the whole time? Just cause I've read somewhere that 1 in like 10 men can get PPD and it usually peaks around 1 year... with men leaninh towards more anger compared to the hopelessness that women get. (Totally not excusing his behaviour! Mental health is not an excuse to be an arse, especially to a child! But it could be playing a role)
i know men suffer depression, my own husband has but never did i need to blame myself for it. We got through it together. I still don’t stand by her asking what she can do better as it sounds like she’s trying her best. She can support him to get help absolutely but if she is genuinely worried about sharing custody with the guy then clearly it’s a lot deeper and he needs to be the one sorting his behaviours out. i’m sorry if it offended you but still stand by her not blaming herself. Have a nice night! 😊
I am literally going through the same thing right now and im at a loss at what to do. 😭 and im pregnant again. I feel like he doesn't even want to be a part of this family anymore and he doesn't want our son. He keeps on talking about this next one being a girl and I just dread when he finds out it's another boy. He's not attentive to our LO right now, he doesn't act like a father to him at all. I feel like he would rather leave me to go be closer to his ex wife and the kids they have together. 💔 He keeps on comparing our LO to the others and gets mad and frustrated when he does something different. It's just so much. 😭
Thanks everyone for the suggestions: I’m not going to ask him what he thinks I’m doing wrong because he has told me: I breastfeed. I also totally get that this could be a ppd situation and have floated that with him in the past but he just shot it down so not sure how I would/could push that?
I think you need to ignore the above comment as it’s not you that’s doing anything wrong. You definitely need to chat to him and find out what’s causing the behavioural shift but regardless he shouldn’t be taking it out on you or your little girl. I’m sure you’re a fab mum!
