[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow this thread is like a PSA for how dismissive people are of mental health issues in this country. [/quote]

It's super scary how cavalier people are about saying OP married a "man-baby" instead of offering helpful advice to a new mom of 2 month old twins about how she can better support her struggling partner.  Oy. [/quote]
Seriously! OP is doing the right thing by asking for help to improve both their lives. I shudder to think what these posters relationships are like with their own husbands. Poor guys. [/quote]

Really trying to follow the logic here.  If your husband didn't resent his own kids and lash out at you during your post-partum recovery, you must be a harpy?  I feel like you're setting a really low bar.

OP: you said your DH is already in therapy.  Start there.  Ask him to schedule an emergency session to talk about these issues.  He's already articulated it to you; let him do it to a professional who can actually help, not the only person in the world more sleep-deprived than he is.[/quote]

7 weeks into life with newborn twins her husband had a bad few days.

I resent my newborns at 7 weeks every time. 7 weeks sucks. They aren't sleeping, they aren't smiling, they are take take take and you're freaking exhausted. I can only imagine that being magnified exponentially with twins.

I think its telling that all of you are seeing this as lashing out instead of just like...having a hard time. OP never used to the words lashed out. OP is worried about him and OP is the only person this thread that actually knows him. [/quote]
