I can imagine what they must really think soapbox!
The time I think they must have found it hardest was at the birth of ds2.
H was not present & showed no interest at all.
When he walked into the room minutes after his ds was born he showed no emotion at all.
My Dad said to him "Are you a bit touched?"
And H replied "Not really"
I had bad depression after the birth (he did not hold him until I came home) & will never really get over that.

I know sweetheart - I've seen your other threads - I had put two and two together a while ago!

Proof that I spend far more time on here than is good for me

My sister wrote to all his relatives, friends and to all the heads of departments at my EXHs work (where he was very senior) spelling out exactly waht he had done over the years!

Apparently he wasn't very popular at work and someone stuck the letter up on every single notice board

Really?!
I have had a lot of guilt issues about ds2's birth recently too (as you may know)
So much is going on in my head right now, which is why I need to speak to my HV.

4!

She was pregnant with the baby when she left her DH!

If she can do - well - so can you!

OP posts:
stressedmummy · 13/05/2005 22:45

Yeah quite!
I have trouble managing 2 at times!
Would love to meet you both sometime.
How did you put 2 & 2 together about me sb?

I think it was writing style. When I read your first post about your DS2's birth something just clicked. Then the more you wrote the more I was fairly sure it was you!

Bit of a witch eh???

SM try not to get upset with guilt over ds2s birth. We'd all spend our time hitting ourselves with a pan if we thought about the past and things we've said/done/thought in regard to the kids. I've been cruella de ville with ds2 at times but he's a real handful. I'm calmer now and he's still a handful but I don't feel quite so bad. Though I do slip up.

Your meet up sounds like a great idea

stressedmummy · 13/05/2005 22:48

Get some more wine puska!
You must keep up with me!
