[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  Well, honestly - I might be furious.  But, if I'm really in trouble, and my whole family is paying the price, I hope that I would be rational.  But maybe there is a way to communicate your concerns to her and tell her you're really worried about all of them?  And as part of that conversation you could ask if she's talking to anyone else about this, whether she'd consider doing that, etc...  Someone struggling w/ handling a baby, expressing feelings of resentment etc..., is also feeling TREMENDOUS shame at what she's feeling.  Add a history of PPD on top of that and you're really describing a pretty common, but serious scenario.

Obviously you don't want to risk your job, but you also sound like you really care and this sounds like an incredibly tough situation.  Try to find a way to keep the conversation going w/ her but also to say that you're really concerned and really want to help - what can you do for her, can you call someone, could a set of grandparents come and give them some relief for a few days, etc...[/quote]
