Post Partum Anger at husband

Need advice re my pp anger at husband. Married ten years have stood by him through lots of problems and have supported him. He has a history of being shouty and he has tried to work on it I am generally a quiet person. Gave birth to second baby in July after a difficult pregnancy. Birth was also difficult -sepsis and emergency c section. Recovery was difficult and was in hospital for five days.

Two weeks after birth we had an incident where husband shouted at our toddler and I overreacted and stood in between them and shouted at husband to leave 3 yr old alone. This was really out of character for me not justifying it but I have never shouted at him in ten years. I apologized later that eve.

Following incident husband showed so much hostility towards me e.g slamming things, driving like crazy in the car when taking us to appointments,harassing me about spending. It upset me so much. Baby had reflux it's been terrible I cried every single night. Now I'm feeling more like myself he is trying to make amends but honestly I feel numb towards him. He treated me awfully at my most vulnerable after years of recieving support.

Not sure what to do moving forward as I can barely talk to him and look forward to when he leaves for work. Am I overreacting?
