[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But what if it's not PPD?  What if I really do suck at being a mother and a wife and I'm taking it out on him?  That happens, doesn't it?[/quote]

OP, I was in the same situation as you when I had my first. We started having difficulties during pregnancy because of my hormonal changes. We then moved two months before my son was born across the country to a place where I knew no one. I lived in an isolated neighborhood. I had no friends. My closest family was nine hours drive away. My husband was always at work. And I got PPD. And I was a bitch.

But I got treatment, got on medication and slowly felt better. It wasn't all just PPD. If we hadn't moved I don't think I would've gotten PPD. You need a support system when you have a baby for the first time. Being isolated and stressed and overworked can make anyone a bad wife. I can tell from your posts that you are neither a bad wife nor a bad mother. Take care of yourself. If your husband decides he's not going to be there for you it's his loss, really.[/quote]
