Feeling low

@Monica how did you deal with it and how did you cope mentally? I feel there is no way out of this spiral and feel soo alone and resentful towards him.
My sons father didn’t do anything to help me for a long while. He would change 1 diaper a week, he would make a bottle at night for me to feed him, and he would be in the bathroom when I gave him a bath. But other than that I did everything. Once he hit 6 months, he started doing baths alone, was feeding him at night, would play with him, changed diapers more often, fed him some purée(he was terrible at it but he would try)would let me go to the store without having to take my son. I think because before he was 6 months, he seemed fragile. Now he does a lot more. He’s 19 months. I would do your best not to get frustrated with him. It happens with a lot of men. I’d suggest getting yourself therapy, it helps. And if it feels like you have ppd, get the help you need. Tell your doctor. Tell your friends and family.
Just wanna say your doing amazing and for males it's weird we become mum as soon as you see the two line that first 9 months were feeding them and taking care of them before there even here by changing our life styles where for males they don't have that my partner was the same but he came around in the end I really hope he realises sooner then later and just take it day by day it's a big change and your life will never be the same for a beautiful tiny human
