Hi I've namechanged for this as will totally out myself.

Am an LP, exp left me four years ago for OW. OW pregnant and birth is imminent (next day or so).

Since learning about the pregnancy DD8 who has dx of ADHD and dyspraxia has gone into full blown spiral. Hates exdp, hates the baby, hates the girlfriend, wants the baby to die, why does daddy live with the baby and not her.

I have been using the techniques learned through our CAF to help her recognise her feelings, however now that its actually happening the behaviour has blown out of all control and she is threatening to kill herself. I have been to see a doctor this morning who has asked me to send in all our paperwork related to the CAF so he can see what we have done. However, what do I do in the interim? I have contacted again the lead professional who had stepped down before Christmas.

I am a nervous wreck about this weekend, I have told exdp he needs to come round in person and talk to the children when the baby is born.

I don't know how to help her, essentially she is just so unbearably sad I am too to be fair as it still bloody hurts so much but I need to concentrate on her. advice would be appreciated.

Bumping for you...I can only suggest you get GP to make a referral to CAMHS on an emergency basis so she can be seen by a psychologist about her death threats.

If she makes any more treats to harm herself take her to A and E they have to have an on call psychiatrist and this can lead to camhs involvement much quicker than the GP referral.

Also it is about her safety !

Sorry you are having to deal with this Sad
