Re: Bad Dreams Keep Coming

If your husband has low self-esteem, the last thing he should think he has a right to do, is give you an ultimatum about post-partem depression. Either he is scared that post-partem Depression is contagious and will harm the children (maybe he doesn't have a degree in COMMON SENSE?) or he is just somehow trying to act macho (kind of jerky),it doesn't make sense unless you're living apart and he's afraid you'll neglect the kids,but you say you have a wonderful relationship with the kids and your husband. Feel free to explain more, you are no imposition and are welcome on this forum. I've never had suicidal dreams, only fully conscious thoughts about suicide (sort of fantasizing and mistaking it for a vacation, to get away from it all). The dreams MIGHT be a kind of sympathy pain since he is the one with low self-esteem. Maybe the dreams mean that you REALLY need a vacation from all the stress, because their are alot of unspoken words this post-partem Depression and the kids. You say that you're having a wonderful relationship, but you keep thinking that you're ruining your family's live's, why would you think both of those things? Are your parents or someone else making you think like that? And why would your husband, or you, talk about the possibility of post-partem? Is he going to make a list...what if you get a cold or the flu or diabetes, etcetera?
