Can I have a handhold?

Namechanged as don't want this on my posting history.

I'm a mum to a 1 month old. The past few days his dad has been acting I don't know how to describe as it's been odd. He's been getting angry alot easily (not at me though at his mum and younger brother etc) and has been wanting me to leave him alone when I go to his house.

Earlier he was found by police because he had attempted suicide. I've visited him in hospital but I've had to come home as son needed a bath.

He hasn't shown any signs except the other day he gave me an envelope and told me not to open it until after today and he said it all make sense but I thought he was going to propose!

I can't stop crying. Just want to write down my thoughts as have no one to talk to in real life 😢

Oh God I'm sorry what a shock for you. He sounds serious. I hope he's getting help Flowers

Sending you hand hold, I'm so sorry, it sounds truly horrible, I hope he's getting the help needed and you and ds are ok.

That sounds awful and I’m so sorry you are going through that at what should be a happy time. You are doing the right thing by putting your son’s needs first though, that has to be your priority.

Hoping as he is in hospital he will get the help he needs. Please dont neglect yourself through this worry. Hand hold and big hugFlowers

Thanks another hand holder here

KitchenC · 06/12/2019 23:48

He kept saying he was fine. I had to go home to look after son but he asked me to stay because he didn't want his mum to stay so I do feel a bit bad.

He's also told me not to open the envelope.

I'm just so upset.

So sorry you're going through this. He is being looked after and you need to look after yourself and baby too xx I'm afraid I would open the envelope though, it should give you some insight into how he was feeling and what brought this on. He obviously desperately needs help xx

Please open the envelope as it will give you an insight which might help those involved to assist with his recovery.
So sorry OP for you and for him. And especially when you are already so vulnerable with a new born.
I am glad he has lived and I hope that you all get the support needed to see a brighter future. Thanks

I would open the envelope, you need to be able to help him as much as possible and it might help this.
