[quote=Anonymous]TW: suicidal ideation

I think this belongs in postpartum moms, not relationship discussion, because I think he’s struggling with paternal PPD.

My husband has really been struggling with depression since the birth of our son. He has a history of depression. Also his mom passed away suddenly in April. He’s been sober for almost 2 years. Last night he went out and bought a case of beer and drank it all. I didn’t know because he was sleeping in the basement, (I thought) to get a good night’s rest after a rough night with baby. This morning I went to wake him up and the basement smelled like beer, cans everywhere. He was still drunk and in the midst of our long talk he admitted he’s been fantasizing about suicide since his mom died. He’s sleeping it off now.

I don’t know what to do. I feel so sad and lonely and like I can’t talk to any of my friends or family because they know he was sober and I don’t want them to know he relapsed. I just wish I could have someone come hold the baby so I can take a shower and a nap. I feel like I could deal with this better after a shower and a nap. [/quote]
