[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow this thread is like a PSA for how dismissive people are of mental health issues in this country. [/quote]

It's super scary how cavalier people are about saying OP married a "man-baby" instead of offering helpful advice to a new mom of 2 month old twins about how she can better support her struggling partner.  Oy. [/quote]
Seriously! OP is doing the right thing by asking for help to improve both their lives. I shudder to think what these posters relationships are like with their own husbands. Poor guys. [/quote]

Really trying to follow the logic here.  If your husband didn't resent his own kids and lash out at you during your post-partum recovery, you must be a harpy?  I feel like you're setting a really low bar.

OP: you said your DH is already in therapy.  Start there.  Ask him to schedule an emergency session to talk about these issues.  He's already articulated it to you; let him do it to a professional who can actually help, not the only person in the world more sleep-deprived than he is.[/quote]
The logic is that her DH is being honest about his feelings. That is not lashing out (not her words or story) and not being abusive in any way shape or form. Just being human. Guess what? Lots of parents resent their newborns, men and women. OP is doing the right thing by trying to address is and get help. You know what is NOT helpful? Telling her her husband is being a man baby and should suck it up, or telling her he is abusive. That's insane and dramatic for the sole reason of getting these responders off. They love the drama.
