So my husband thinks I have PPD. I don’t think I do. I think it’s just stress because he got back from being out of town for work for 2 months (he left when LO was 1 month old) and he’s spent the past 2 weeks “adjusting” back. I understand there is a period of adjustment but I don’t think hiding in our room watching Netflix and playing video games for 6 hours straight counts when we have a 3 month old and 3 older kids (his from a previous relationship).

If he were just concerned that I have PPD that would be fine but he’s like “if you don’t get treated you could get the baby taken from you if you neglect her”. Ummm WTF??? I’ve been taking care of her on my own for 2 goddamn months and she’s thriving - 99th percent for height, 88th percentile for weight. She’s happy and healthy, there’s no chance or hint of neglect!

This isn’t the first time he’s mentioned me losing the baby either. We had a fight when she was about 4 weeks old and I honestly can’t remember what it was about. But I was sleep deprived, struggling to breastfeed her, and hormonal. And during the fight he threatens to leave and take the baby away from me.

Also, apparently me using an app to track her feedings and diapers and naps means I’m relying on technology to parent her. No, it means I need help keeping everything straight because I am taking care of so much on my own.

I’m getting so sick of his shit.
