Bereavement

Feel so upset 1 yr on from Dm's death and causing relationship problems

My DM died when my DS was 7 months old.

it was a difficult time anyway as DH and I adjusted to having a baby and his parents had moved away and were being very selfish and difficult.

My DH was rubbish with dealing with my bereavement and every time I was cranky with him he would come back at me with an argument and if I cried and got upset he would sigh and say that he was getting bored of hearing about it (he first said this 3 woks after her death)

I went to counselling for months and that really helped but as time goes on (1yr now) I still get very upset as my mum and I hadn't spoken for a long time when she died (family probs but another story) so I feel like I never got chance to clear the air and I could really do with a hug from her now, as the longer I'm married and a mum, the more I start to empathise with what she went through with my Dad.

My DH is a good man essentially, just emotionally not very supportive and I can't seem to shake the feeling of anger towards how crap he has been emotionally when it really counted.

Thank you for reading.

Men are so different, they deal with things in their own special way. Maybe offer some advice than you just want a hug when you are feeling down about things. if you ever want to talk more feel free to message me. I found it very hard after my mum passed, we were very close so a different situation to your own but she never got to meet my children and being a mum myself really drove home just how hard it was to lose her. x
