My DH is manic depressive and has very bad depression. He is on SSRI's and on top of that type 1 diabetes so he has irritability when hypo. Mixture can be explosive to say the least. He used to verbally attack me and be nasty and completely horrid to me. To the point where i would hide things from him cos i was scared of his reaction. Lately though he seems to be making a concerted effort after having a small breakdown in Sept. Recently my ex has decided he wants contact of our son (DH step son) and he has handled the whole situation remarkably...but we want another child and i am scared he will be so nasty to me when i am pregnant that i will lose the baby, he can make me sob like nothing else i have experienced. I have just come off beta blockers for high blood pressure due to the strains of helping and supporting him.
is a new baby wise????? i am ready but dont know bout DH, he is doing better and its eems wrong to think he shouldnt have his own child cos he has depression. This was discussed way before the contact thing started.
