First time poster, long time lurker here, so please forgive me if I've put this in the wrong place.
I'm trying to find ways to support my husband, who's finding it difficult to be the father he wants to be. I don't know that I'd call it PND exactly, but his relationship with our 6-month old is difficult, to the point where he now doesn't feel he can look after her on his own.
He wants to get some support to help him deal with his feelings, but is finding it nigh-on impossible to find anything about difficulties with fatherhood that isn't focused on the woman's point of view. I, too, have tried in vain to find forums or advice on his behalf and it really does seem to be a desert out there for dads who are struggling to bond but want to be better.
Just as a bit of background, his father died some years ago, so he doesn't have that avenue to go down, and he's the first of his close friends to have a child, so doesn't have that resource either.
So I wondered if anyone had any suggestions for forums or groups or anything, on or offline (we're in South manchester) that he might look into or anything else he could try, really. We're looking into counselling at the moment, but it would be nice to find something a bit more informal too.
Thanks for any and all help :-)
