To all moms please answer

I am resenting my husband too much. I don’t even recognise myself now. I am so cold towards him even though I know he needs support as well. I know it’s not him it’s me I feel like I am completely different from myself I don’t know how to be myself. It’s been a year with my baby he is so supportive but still I feel resentment towards him. I want to be myself again how can I do this.

Best thing to do is speak with a doctor as it could be a sign of depression x

Hey , don't beat your self up , it can actually take anywhere from 6months - 2yrs to feel like you again after having a baby ! You could refer yourself to Talking therapy via NHS as you have a baby under 2yrs, you'll be a priority unused them 2yrs ago as inwas going through alot, Lost my dad, prem baby and an eviction looming bit having a weekly chat with a therapist helped alot !

You've put all to answer so just going to give you my first thoughts after reading. Seems silly but why do you resent him? Is it something you can face and work through? Could you maybe try to step back for a minute I.e visit family without one another? (Time apart sometimes helps) could you maybe do a date night to see if it helps between the 2 of you? Is there something you could do hobbies wise and arrange an agreed time for you to do it see if that helps to bring a spark of you back? I'm not really sure who I am so can't help on the finding yourself bit sorry. Hope my thoughts give you something to think about even if they aren't helpful.

Sorry to hear this. We’ve struggled this year too! But all I can suggest is keep taking. Sometimes I get so angry at him for silly things, and when we talk I try my very best to listen and consider his point. 9 times out of 10 we agree that any arguaments are coming from things both sides can do differently. I agree when you’re in a slump it’s hard to get out of it. I’ve found you have to really try to be positive in the way you think of them again, and usually by spinning your negativity then it’s enough to pull you out.
