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.

PPD can be treated and your wife will be fine. I had it and got treatment and I was just fine. Your mother on the other hand will always be like that. I think everyone else has basically described her to a T.

Stop sharing your wife's personal information with your mommy it's none of her business. You have no one to blame but yourself for having a big mouth

So it's OP's fault that his mother is a megabitch? Really? Yeah, didn't think so. Same goes for 123. You can't blame someone for a family member's uncalled-for actions. And I come from a family full of chemical imbalances so I should know.

Maybe the wife was okay with it. I know I would want to share this with my MIL, because she's a great lady and I love her. Maybe they all underestimated OP's mom's bitchiness.

Not his fault that his family sucks but he CHOOSES to share his wife's personal information with a sucky family or so-called "megabitch". So yeah, that's one thing that IS his fault. Grow a ******* brain people!

How do you know the MIL didn't ask? Or that the wife WANTED the family to know the info? Had my mom been diagnosed with PPD, she would have told EVERYONE. This could be a similar case. Maybe you should grow the ******* brain and think about all the different sides of the story before bitching out? Also............why did you say FYL when the earlier part of the comment seemed to suggest YDI?

It is obvious that MIL never liked op's wife. So why the hell do you think she would want him telling thet **** she has ppd? Now she can't stop crying yea I'm SURE she wanted mil to know *insert eye roll*

And how do you know MIL was the intended recipient? She could have been the stereotypical bitchy MIL and eavesdropped on a conversation between OP, his wife, and another family member. What I'm saying is you assholes can't blame OP for his bitch of a mother. Maybe he made a mistake by telling the family, but he probably wanted a support system to lean on. To be trapped in a house with a depressed person can be hell when you have no one to talk to. I assume you are the type of person who would think someone is a **** for getting married young, then divorcing when they realized that they had been stupid?
