[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's wasn't protected as a child = he will protect his children above all else (including you). Therapy for him. Don't think you're going to get what you need from him at the moment. Can you settle in your room with a mini fridge, all you need and lock the door? When baby is sleeping, tend to your other kids for hugs, tuck in, snack together? Hope he's not blowing up in front of the older kids. [/quote]

OP here: thank you! You make me cry, but in a good way :) you understand. I feel understood. Thank you.

Yes. My DH had to flee a dangerous situation (civil war) and lost hia whole family as a young boy. He loves me dearly. But his love for our children may be more primal and fierce. So in this time of extra stress and responsibility, including: sweet precious newborn baby, two kids starting new schools within a week, lack of family support on either side, COVID making us very cautious, no visitors/help, doing our best... Yes I agree with everything you wrote that maybe I just can't expect such gentleness from him right now, and that's okay. I'll work more on taking care of myself. We are doing our best.

Thank you again for a sincere and caring response [/quote]
