Relationship advice

So my bf and me have a four month old baby and my partner is struggling with depression. Last night I came home from seeing a friend he kicked off drove off and went missing. This hasn’t happened before so I contacted the police and they found him and it’s been 24hrs I’ve just got to his parents house I stoked his head and he told me to get off. Other than that he’s now acknowledged me or said a word nevermind even look my way. I’m really starting to struggle and find myself crying in the bathroom quietly and I’m so lost I feel like my whole life is crumbling

Show your support

Whilst I can understand your wish to support your partner, what about you? Who is looking after you at this point in time? If you can, go home to your family for a few days and be looked after while you concentrate on the baby. Let the dust settle before trying to talk to him. You and your baby are the priority.

Depression doesnt make you do those things. He sounds like a dick.

Okay, as hard as struggling with mental health is, and this comes from first hand experience as I myself have depression along with other mental health problems, I would never storm off without saying anything to my partner, nor when I know we've got a baby. It's definitely difficult to handle, don't get me wrong but I personally find his actions unjustified. It's not okay and depression is not apart of this equation at all. Just from what you've said alone. What he's done is wrong and I agree with the other comments, you need help, support and to be looked after as you've got a baby to look after as well. I would say something calm, open and honest to him, straight to the point, and go spend a couple days with family if that's an option for you. Not okay at all. So I hope you're okay hun x
