    i’m so sorry you are going through this. you’re not a horrible mom. Your husband should not be doing what he’s doing.

    You need some support right now. Is there a way that you can speak with a counselor? You can also go to just about any church in your area and they would have somebody you could speak with . Very often they can provide you with resources for further support. You don’t have to suffer in silence. do you have a family member or friend you can speak to?

    yes, your children need you.they are sweet innocent angels in this situation and I’m sure you would want them to have a bright and happy future.

    don’t give away your power to him. then HE wins. When you dont put yourself and your children first or hurt yourself , that’s what you would be doing.

    I highly encourage you to draw strength from within and be determined to fight for yourself and your children! There’s a lot of support and help out there in the community!go to community centers, churches, online counseling or support groups.

    As a man, I am so disappointed that there are other men out there who make people feel like this - least of all, mother of their children.

    Anyway... you do not have to settle feeling like this and there is so much support out there for you to access if you want to. Maybe you could talk to your midwife next time you see her as she might be able to direct you into the best place for that kind of help.

    You do not deserve to be feeling like you do - there would be plenty of people who would miss you and your children really need you to be around.

    Please reach out to someone and i can tell you from experience that more people care for you and your wellbeing than you would ever realise.

    Hi, Ray! Look, if your husband has been behaving like this even though he knows you are pregnant and on top dealing with depression and anxiety, it is clear that he doesn't respect you.

    Try to go to a relative or friend's house and seek psychological treatment. You need to create a support and safety net around you. Once you have the right people around you, you will feel better.

    Don't let your husband's mistakes make you feel like a bad mother or wife. His bad attitude is his responsibility alone.
