My dd2 is three weeks old and my dd1 is 20 months and I just can't cope. I tried to put on a brave face but I can't do it anymore. Everytime I think things are going well dd1 has a massive meltdown tantrum and I'm back to being deeply depressed. I don't know why but I don't want to b around dd1 at the moment. When I was in the hospital I missed her so much and the thought if being apart killed me but now she is behaving horribly and I can't b around her. Dd2 wants to feed all the time and my dc are sucking the life out of me. I'm not sure I'm cut out for having children. I try so hard to b a good mother but I've just had enough now. All the crying and tantrums and breast feeding has finally got to me. I really cannot do it anymore! How do I get through this?
