I just had my daughter a month ago. I never wanted to keep her from the begining but my husband wouldnt have it any other way. I have no bond with this child, have no idea how to get her to stop crying or what she wants when she cries. I have no urge to hold her. Its more like theres a baby in the house and I have to care for it feeling. I dont feel like shes even mine. I explain my feelings to my husband who is away for work for the next 6 months and he tells me to shut up and deal with it. Where I am I have no family, his family isnt around and hes moved us so far away from everyone I have no friends or help and he wont let me get help. I dont know what to do at this point. Is there a way I can get a bond with her?
Have you called your family? Have you thought of just going home? I agree with the other posters that you may be dealing with depression and need help. Your husband sounds like an insensitive jerk and if this is his response to your calling out for help, then I wonder what kind of life you will have with him. You need to talk to someone about that too.
I do have two other children. One 7 but she lives with my previous husband and my 14 month old son lives with me and is from my current marriage. Id love to go home for help and support but he wont allow it. Ive tried talking to my doctor but she says she thinks it will pass. My health insurance ends this month and then I wont be able to recieve help as I have no way to pay for it.
