To cut a long story short...
DP was attacked 3.5yrs ago which has left him with PTSD, Anxiety, etc which wasn't diagnosed until 18 months ago. He can't take any medication as he's really sensitive to meds and trips out on paracetamol. DP also works from home
DD is 11 wks old and borderline high needs - am EBF and she won't settle anywhere other than on my breast. Am also co-sleeping to make sure we all get sleep at night. She also seems to be teething early.
When she decides to kick off, DP really can't deal with her screams. I'm struggling with being a first time mum (DP's 2 DSs, 13 & 6, also live with us) and starting to feel like if I'd known that babies wound up DP so much that I would have decided not to have a child of my own. This is starting to make me feel really down along with crap to to with ExP (was treated for depression 3 years ago, before DP & I got together). I don't feel like I can discuss this with the HV as I'm worried about setting off red flags for SS and DP's quite proud of the fact that SS weren't necessary when his ExW walked out on him & his DSs.
Any advice?
