I'm just not good. My daughter is nearly 9 months old and as I had postpartum depression I just feel like such a shitter mum now. I was getting better until we got the knock but now I can't even take my daughter to the park or for a walk I just want to stay inside! I am constantly crying. She's really poorly and I'm struggling doing this all on my own I'm exhausted (my hat goes off to single mums) although my partner is innocent it infuriates me he's staying at his mothers house! Meals cooked, plenty of sleep etc. I'm petrified he's going to go to prison or something and it makes me feel so sick everyday but I feel like it's my daughter suffering!

Ahh bless you - my lovely. It's hard enough to cope with a baby after suffering post natal depression, a poorly child and be in a 'stable' relationship never mind being left on your own after'the knock' ......

All I can offer is to hold on in there it will unfold and like us all on here you'll find your strategy to cope. Much is said about coping with the emotional side to this journey but the practical side is massive for the innocent and just as hard.

Your baby is very young she perhaps notices her mums a bit sad but you are doing your damn best - us mums are fantastic, and so are you.
