[quote=Anonymous]Ugh. My DH dealt with depression during my postpartum period and did the same thing to me. I remember coming home from the doctor's office with a prescription for anti-depressants and him saying, "You aren't depressed, you're just selfish, and can't handle being a mom." It's very hopeful that he is getting help. My DH and I improved as the stress in our lives lifted, however there wasn't a noticeable different in the way he treated me until he got on anti-depressants. If you can squeeze it in, it's worth the time and effort to start seeing a therapist yourself. As much I hate saying this, try not to start fights. But at the same time, recognize that IT'S NOT YOU and oftentimes no matter how nicely you say something he will hear it differently. Accept help from friends and family. Hang in there, it will get better once the baby stress lifts. Lots of hugs to you. [/quote]
