Ok, I have been back part time for 5 months and my ds is 15 months. However, being at work and the transitions between work and home are ripping my emotions apart. One minute I'm fine, the next I'm moody, irritable and detached. Is not ds tha has avoidant attachment, it is me. I can't connect with him properly when I come home because I feel so guilty. I'm not being the kind of mum my mum was and it really gets to me. I have asked to go full time in November however I don't think will cope without totally switching off from ds and becoming cold and indifferent as a defence. Had a traumatic c section where ds was born flat and spent his first night in a hosp 4 hours from me and the next 10 days in an incubator. I don't know if this now has an impact on my feelings. I had no pnd, but since I've gone back to work have been feeling pretty low and alienated from other people.
