[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See, he claims that people do this (the baby and isolation thing) all the time and I don't have any to be depressed about.  He [b]sneered when I mentioned very early on that lack of a support system was proven to be a cause of PPD. [/b] I really don't understand the purpose in him insisting I don't have PPD, but I'm just a bitch.  Is mental illness that uncomfortable for people that they'd rather see the person they married as the face of evil?  Because he's called me evil before too.[/quote]

I'm a PP who has been very supportive of you, OP, but you do see that you are blaming your DH for your PPD, right?  You have to understand that not even the kindest, most patient and understanding husband is going to take that well.  [/quote]

I really didn't see it that way, but it makes sense that he'd take it that way.  I was doing research and found it interesting that lack of a support system has been found to be causal, not just a correlating factor.  And the support system the research talks about isn't your spouse, it's friends, family, and the healthcare system.  I know your spouse can't be the end all be all as support goes.  I don't know if I can apologize for it this far out though.  [/quote]

You CAN.  You CAN and should!  Why wouldn't you?  Obviously if it's still on your mind you know it was a hurtful thing to say.  THis is your HUSBAND and your marriage at stake.  Pride and standing on ceremony should have no place in the discussion.[/quote]

Because I don't think that's his issue and I don't think he remembers - trust me, he throws stuff back in my face all the time and has never thrown that in my face except right when I said it to him.  And even then he just yelled at me saying you don't get PPD from being isolated.  So respectfully, I'm going to have to disagree with how you're seeing it.  I truly believe his issue is he doesn't like just being roommates and he thinks I should be so overjoyed with having a baby that nothing else matters.
