The bond of fatherhood
THE JOYS OF BEING A HUSBAND/FATHER
SO ARE LITTLE ONE WAS BORN ON JUNE 18TH, 2009 AT 6:58 PM. SHE IS A HEALTHY BIG BABY THANK GOD. SINCE MY WIFE BECAME PREGNANT WE WERE BLESSED WITH THE ADVISE OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY. ONE THING THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF IS HOW MY WIFE WILL BE EXTRA EMOTIONAL AND DIFFICULT TO TALK TO AT TIMES. NOW THIS REALLY MAKES ME MAD BECAUSE I WANT TO HELP, I KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ON HER MIND, I KNOW THAT SHE IS TIRED FROM WAKING UP VERY 2 HOURS TO BREAST FEED OUR BABY, WHEN I ASK HER TO TELL ME HOW SHE FEELS SHE JUST SHUTS ME OFF SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I CONSIDER MYSELF A GOOD HUSBAND. I AM ATTENTIVE TO ALL OF MY WIFES NEEDS, I TELL HER THAT I LOVE HER, EVERY NOW AND THEN I'LL WRITE HER A LOVE NOTE FROM WORK WITH WORDS OF AFFECTION, AFFIRMATION, AND ATTENTION. THIS MORNING I EVEN MADE HER BREAKFAST IN BED. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD SHE NOT WANT TO TELL ME HOW SHE FEELS AND WHATS ON HER MIND? I DONT CARE IF HER HORMONES ARE OUT OF WACK BEAUSE I STRONGLY FEEL THAT ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONVERSE WITH ONE NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUR BODY. IF ANYTHING I WHIS SHE WOULD SAY, YEAH, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG BUT RIGHT NOW I DONT WANT TO TALK; THIS I CAN UNDERSTAND BUT DONT LIE AND SAY YOU ARE OK WHEN YOUR N OT.
OH, THE JOYS OF BEING HUSBAND/FATHER.

Thank you for the comment. Since I posted this comment everything has changed for good. In my posting, when i talked about the things I do for my wife I'm not trying to through things in her face. The context of those sentences are linked to us having a happy reciprocal relationship, so why then would she not be open and feel comfortable in telling me what's on her mind. Thank you again for taking time in reading this post.
Respectflly,
KP

K.P.- It sounds as though your wife may be suffering from post partum depression. It is a condition that affects a lot of women after birth. You can always start with wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_partum_depression and then go from there. If after doing a bit of research you feel that your wife might have ppd, then I would suggest that you talk to her and ask that she speak to her doctor about it, Hopefully she will see that you are trying to be sincere and you're worried about her well-being and she will seek help. Just remind her that all parents need help at some point or another. She will certainly not be less of a mom for needing help.
Anyone else have any experience with PPD?
