scared

[4MyFamily]

i have been in a bad place for the last 13 years (since my second son was born). I probably had PPD and never admitted to it. Then came a family illness and Covid and I had no control over my emotions, feelings, and behavior. I was awful to my husband….just awful. He has had enough and wants a separation. I’m finally in a better place -medication wise, health wise, mental health wise, but I fear it’s too late. I’m scared he won’t give me a chance to work on loving myself so that I can show him the love he needs and deserves.

Welcome to the community.

Have you thought about couples counseling? Maybe talking to a professional would help bring some clarity regarding what you were going through and what you need to move forward.

Wishing you the best

We each see a therapist individually and go to couples counseling

That's great, you will know you did your best to try and fix things

I would say that you don't need his help or permission to love and validate yourself it's what you need to do for yourself inspite of what happens with your husband. It will only improve your relationship with yourself, possibly him and others in the future.
