[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She may well be struggling with anxiety. Here’s what will help: show her that you listen to her, respect her, and love her. Here’s what will not help: pushing, boundary-stomping, and judging. Check in with her. Don’t ask about the baby. Ask about HER. You know, the person, and not just the baby-bringer-into-the-world-er? Be the one person on this planet to ask about her and show her that you care about her, and not just her baby.[/quote] Knowing she is careful, ask what you can do to help.[/quote] My suggestion is just to ask about her as an individual person, and see how the conversation goes from there. My point is to focus on HER, not ask about the baby, unless she seems to want to talk about baby. When you are suffering from anxiety or postpartum depression or just regular old depression (I’ve had all 3), it’s painful when no one seems to care about YOU; they only ask about the baby, or you in relation to the baby.[/quote]
