Anon: I am a FT SAHM to a beautiful 12 week old baby boy who I love. I practice attachment parenting and do my best to be a good mom. Lately I have had a very hard time. We have spent 95% of the last 3 months cooped up in the house because he is exclusively fed from the breast and will not ride in the car without screaming crying. Yesterday after being alone with baby from 9-4 I shut off completely. I texted my husband and asked him to come home early because I was afraid I would hurt the baby. He did not get home until 9pm. When he got home I handed my then crying baby over to him and began scream crying uncontrollably. Last night while in bed I told my husband I think I have postpartum onset of depression and that I need help. He told me that I need to just relax. Aside from being infuriating I found that to be very discouraging. How do I convey to my husband the dire seriousness of this situation? Does this happen to anyone else?
