PLEASE HELP my husband said he doesn't feel anything for our 6 week old
My husband came to me about a week and a half ago and told me he doesn't feel anything towards our 6 week old little girl. We have a 4 year old that he says he absolutely loved since birth but when my son was born my husband didn't seem to care about him at all in my eyes especially because our son was in the hospital multiple times for pyloric stenosis and my husband would come to the hospital for an hour go home and drink and not come back or even ask if he was okay. I stayed overnight in the hospital with him for days and never left but he swears he instantly loved our son. Anyway back to our second child, our little girl, I tried to be comforting and tell him that he will get there soon enough and to try doing the more enjoyable things with her... But he says when he looks at her he feels nothing. Now I understand some people take longer to feel connected to a baby as soon as it's born and some take longer but he even said if something happened to her he would only pretend to be sad because that's what people expect. Now I'm starting to get extremely nervous about leaving her alone with him. I asked him to seek professional help and if it would maybe help but he said no he doesn't want to. So Even though I want to be supportive I can't help but feel upset that he feels this way. Has anyone experienced this does time help at all? I feel very worried and can't sleep when he tells me to take a nap and he will watch her because I'm afraid for her
