Am I overreacting?
Just want to ask the question do you think that I am overreacting or have I a point? my.son was in NICU for a few weeks over birth, it was unexpected. My first child was also in NICU. my husband was not allowed into NICU for our first child as it was covid. Anyway, my husband took time off to tlbe around after the birth of our second child but after 4 weeks went back to work. I begged him not to go back and to give it a bit of time. I was terrified. I had had no rest after birth as it was go go go with the hospital and our first has special needs. so I kept going. I got very bad pp anxiety throughout all of this. I was actively going out if my mind I was shouting crying, couldn't settle, just didnt want to be at home with children I was terrified. my husband told me that I was gone.nuts and to get help for my head. I have never forgiven him for that comment. I felt that in my time of need I was left to figure it out. he was more concerned with work I felt, he says someone had to go to work. I haven been at home about 5 years now. I gave up my career I worked hard at, I got a part.rime.job and had to give that up too when I got pregnant. I also gave up the opportunity to do a college course, very competitive, that I had tried for years to do and finally got accepted, but my.son was just about to be diagnosed autistic and we had no childcare. I went.on to have my second baby after that. is this just normal life, is this just want happens, we sacrifice for our children, our careers, opportunities, time, money etc. I also feel I sacrificed so that my husband would not feel hard done by and also.when it came to giving up a job to look after our son, my husband talked abput it but I actually did it. now granted I did want to spend that time at home with him and I dont regret it but I feel ive sacrificed alot and its not really appreciated. even.though my husband says he appreciates it. every time we get ito a fight about it he tell me to go.back to work if im.that miserable which just sets it off to me that im not appreciated.
