Op sees her sister once a year.

But I’m sure that the sister’s husband and father of the baby, as well as sister’s OB will be on the look out for PPD.[/quote]

I don’t assume the father is the white knight here at all.  Or the MIL.

Broken attracts broken but you don’t wonder about OP’s mental health and perspective  despite being genetically related to her mentally ill sister?[/quote]

Np. No I don’t. I think Op is just voicing a concern on an Anonymous chat room. And it’s valid and real.

There are red flags all over this and I know several women since a young age with mental illnesses since they were teens who have Bieber not to marry or have children since they feel it would (a) out them over the edge, and (b) they’d be far from a decent mother.

Anyhow, the most likely outcome is divorce if the father is functional. Having and raising a child triggers all sorts of minic behaviors in mentally unstable, disordered and/or abused adults.

I would not expect to be kept in the loop by either parent, so just stay accessible and kind. Have your boundaries- time, emotions, money- if things go south with them. [/quote]
