My story begins a few years ago my husband and I had began trying for a baby. Five miscarriages, one ectopic pregnacy later I carried full term with our baby girl. Finally right, wrong a week after having our baby my husband tells me he wants a divorce that he’s not happy and wants out of the marriage and wants to be as far away as possible. He says he’s depressed and he doesn’t want to work on it, he’s done!!! This all just happened a week ago! I feel he has postpartum depression, but I don’t know for sure…if any man or woman has gone through a similar situation i would like to hear about it, please any bit of encouragement would be great…I’m losing my mind right now trying to fight for my marriage and all he wants to do is give up, he’d causing me to go through postpartum myself.
Ashley, I so hope you found a good solution with your husband. I see it was over 2 yrs ago, -
I had my child about 18 yrs ago, my wife left shortly after, bounced back and forth. Unfortunately, our daughter was 2 before I ever heard of PPD, and much damage had been done. We went through our divorce and have had little communication since. I have a close bond with my daughter, but have much ‘caching up’ to do.
Get any and all help you can, PSI was such wonderful support to me in those days, and still. All the best to you -
