Today, my wife and I received confirmation that she has postpartum depression. When sharing this with the family, my mother exclaimed "I told you she was a psycho!" Now my wife is crying louder and more often than our newborn. Thanks, mom. FML

Your mother clearly needs to get over herself and accept your marriage. Your wife may be a "psycho" to her, but she's the "immature brat" to everyone else. Love and support your wife, and reassure her that she's definitely not what your mother says. Also, when you have the time, take your mother aside and set up some boundaries. If she can't accept them, stop coming around. For the sake of visiting your newborn, she'll probably learn to keep her mouth shut. Your mother may be blood, but your wife is your family.

Yea I agree, I can see how it would subconsciously trick a mother into feeling she's lost the baby not that it was born. But sometimes that is the only way to save the life of the child and or mother.. as the case with me. I forgive her for wanting to throw me off a bridge for that one lol ..also I kinda think it makes me that much more badass that I was torn thru blood and guts from my mothers stomach ..not squeezed thru her ******.

I hope you stood up to your mother and told her how common it is for women to get..

..how do you get "confirmation" on postpartum? You either feel it or not. Damn for wanting to be a psychologist I disagree with a LOT of it. I'ma be a change maker! Sorry for what you and your family is going through though.

For someone wanting to be a psychologist, it surprises me that you've never heard of the DSM...

Perhaps you should research postpartum depression a little more.

Sorry for that. Your mother is definitely a bitch, seeing as your wife has no control over it. I lost friends when I was diagnosed as depressed because they also thought I was a psycho, but it is chemicals in your brain that aren't reacting right. Your mother should be banished from seeing her newborn grandchild.

Your mom probably has a list of reasons to think that. YDI for not listening to her in the first place. You all won't be feeling so sorry for the OP or his wife when the crazy **** puts the baby in the microwave. More like F your newborn's life for being cursed with parents like you.

Wow, that's beyond cruel. I also hope karma bites you in the ass. I have schizophrenia as well as depression, and guess what, I've never harmed either of my children. Having a mental illness does not mean you're going to kill everyone. It's people like you who make people like me sick.
