He’s clearly not the right person to support you the way you need right now, make an apt with your doctor and then once you’ve got the right support to help you begin recovering you can address this with him properly. You’re not a bad mum, you’re struggling and that’s perfectly normal. The fact he doesn’t know this, or just isn’t willing to support you through this shows more about him than you x

Oh my days, that's horrible. Your partner should be ashamed of himself! I'm so sorry you're struggling so much, it is normal to experience pp rage and ppd, you'd be surprised how many mothers do. You are not a bad mum for experiencing this, hormones and this major change in your life has a lot to answer for. How dare your husband state otherwise, he's not the one that sacrificed hos body to carry your daughter, practically got ripped in 2 to birth her, dealt with hormones through pregnancy and after. He literally had no right to say anything but be supportive in EVERYWAY. Please remember you're doing great, you deserve love and support. Have you spoken to you hv?

Please message me if you need someone to talk to. I have been dealing with PPD/PPA and my BPD. I have been through it and made it out the other side. If you ever need to just vent or cry to someone ever my inbox is ALWAYS open. You are not ungrateful. You went through a MAJOR life and body and mind changing event!! You’ve done AMAZINGLY. You are not a bad mum. Is your baby fed? Clothed? Changed? Loved? You’re doing amazingly! He sounds like a dick, I won’t lie to you. That mentality is awful and lazy of him. Please do reach out if you ever need to talk x

Based on what you have said he sounds pretty awful, and you deserve more positivity and gratitude in your life. Do you have family nearby?

He’s a foolish person, I’m enraged by what he’s said to you. I’m so sorry you’re going through this - it’s literally your hormones. You’re not bad, you’re tired and sleep deprived and your body is also trying to recover from producing life into this world. You are special You are phenomenal You are enough as you are No man could ever understand what you’ve gone through - he doesn’t get to tell you how you should feel.

Sorry but he sounds like a total knob! All of the emotions and thoughts you’re feeling are totally normal and understandable. Every mum needs help and time to have a break sometimes! Being ‘on duty’ 24/7 with a non-sleeping, screaming baby is so so hard! I definitely notice that my emotions are worse when I’m overstimulated and tired because baby hasn’t slept. Sending you love, mama. You are an awesome mum 🩷

Thanks everyone I’m just so fed up again tonight she hasn’t slept all day long she refuses I try everything even now I tried putting her in bed 5 times she was actually asleep and she woke up screaming I even ran a bath for myself on the last try as she was asleep 10 mins in bed as SOON AS my bath has ran in about to get in she screams crying her eyes out I give up she’s now absolutely wide awake I’m so beyond fed up how is this meant to be enjoyable I’ve been non stop all day and she wakes up constantly all fucking night long every 45 mins or less it’s exhausting me I just want a bath

He is a fucking arsehole for saying shit like that to you, I'm angry for you! How dare he?! Funny though, as he says this shit yet isn't offering to take your baby for a few hours to actually give you a break?
