im not going to jump into this
or start an argument
but i will say i suffer from severe pnd
and i can relate to what the op is saying
i've never once felt love for my daughter
and yes i do have thoughts about hurting her
it doesn't make me a bad person or a child abuser
pnd is an illness and it takes time to overcome
the illness, plenty of people have these feelings
towards their children ...
1 in 10 new mums go through pnd, the op needs support not
harsh comments, she needs to speak to a
doctor yes but the fact she has told her
feelings to someone is a
huge step in the right
direction
it took me 6 months to even ask for help
because i was afraid of people would think
and some of your comments are the sort
of thing i was afraid of
some mothers bond with their children and love them
from the very start, some mothers like myself struggle
to find the love, my child's 17 months and i still dont
feel we have a strong bond, not everyone feels like
the perfect mother, not everyone has the patience
you need with a small child and not everyone feels
they can cope to begin with ...
to the op ... the longer you leave it the worse it
gets trust me as soon as you speak to someone and
they get the ball rolling you can only go forwards
it may take some time but it does get better
you're not alone i promise but you do need to speak
with someone, im always about if you need me
