I don't know what to do, but I'm absolutely devastated. My daughter has always been a daddy's girl, but the last few weeks have taken it to a new level. She literally wants nothing to do with me. She screams and hits if I come near her, saying 'away mummy'. She is always crying for somebody else, daddy, grandad, nanny. Will she let me near her, not a chance. I am just bereft. I feel like a complete failure of a mother. I have tried to be the best, caring, supportive, calm mother I could be, and I feel completely rejected.
I do work, but only three days a week, so I have two with her. I wouldn't be exaggerating when I say that the fight to go back to work part time after maternity leave near killed me. It left me with stress, pnd and anxiety and this time last year I was have serious suicidal thoughts, and I feel like it wasnt worth the effort because she hates being with me. My husband and I are going through a very bad patch, and I just feel like I destroy everything I touch, I must be a truly terrible person to deserve this.
