[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks all for the advice. I'm working on letting it go but having a hard time. I keep thinking about what could've happened to my baby. It was a scary situation and being a first time mom isn't making it easier.

To PPs:
I don't have BIL's #, nor does he have mine. DH and SIL would've found out anyway if we asked them for it.

I don't have expectations now. What's done is done. After hearing his explanation and him knowing it was me when he made the turn, I wished he had handled things differently before and after. I understand that's out of my control, so I'm telling myself that when people show you who they are, believe them. I'm sure the same goes for him re me now. I think I'll have to treat him like that 'family' member you have to deal with on holidays as I'm working on letting it go.

NP. I’m saying this with all kindness, but you might want to get a checkup and do a screening for PPD/PPA. It sounds like you had a scary moment, and you’re realizing that we live in a dangerous world where you can’t protect your child from every danger. You might benefit from talking to someone who has experience helping new moms handle this transition. Your feeling upset is valid, but it also seems a bit oversized and hard to let go of. That’s an indication of anxiety. It’s not fun to feel that way, and I was able to enjoy parenting much better when I figured out how to deal with things and not get caught up in all the what ifs.
