Post partum pyschosis

I have a 10 week old son and 1 week after his birth I was hospitalised with post partum pyschosis. I was treated at home with strong drugs which I have now been off for 3 weeks. During my pyschosis I gave my husband and family a huge shock and feel incredibly guilty for this. I still don't feel things are right between me and my husband and often I think I just want to take our son and go and stay at my mums. I feel she is more understanding of my illness and recovery. My husband dislikes my mum and feels her anxiety passed on to me and doesn't even like me visiting her. This causes me anxiety and makes me want to just take my son and stay with my mum. I just don't know what to do. I am fine through the week with my son but when my husband is off st wkends and it's just is my anxiety comes back,

We had a fight last night where he called me a boot and said he didn't love me. He apologised immediately but I just feel what's the point.

Hi Elaine,

I am so sorry to hear this. It definitely sounds like your Mum is being more supportive, and because of this I feel you would benefit more from going to stay with her. Perhaps explain in detail to your husband how you are feeling?
