[quote=Anonymous]I would be really put off by the 'give up the baby' comments. I get the obvious sentiment, but I still would have responded like you did, OP. I just can't commiserate with that and would have looked for a way to move on from the convo. I also struggled to conceive (IVF mom) and it brings up all sorts of issues for me. Is this maybe something that you can relate to? Is that perhaps part of the issue?

I don't think there's anything wrong with not wanting to commiserate. You can open up to whoever you feel comfortable with on this subject (or no one if you truly feel fine), and you can bond with your sisters about something else. Your kid is so young, like you said, there will be plenty of other things to complain (or otherwise bond about) down the line.

The fact that you thought to post about it here, however, is a little concerning. It does seem like there might be some PPD issues? If there are, you should reach out to your Dr. It's so important to take care of yourself right now. [/quote]
