OK so I need help please
OK so my brother and his girlfriend had a baby 5 months ago and she is a darling but the mother is very harsh towards this side of them family and to him she won't let us feed,change or take her out for a walk on our own she says she has very bad aniexty and is constantly using that for excuse but she will let her dog sit on the floor next to her let another baby have her dummy in her mouth and let her own dad put her on a swinging chair with no support in the garden...my brother is not aloud to take the baby out on his own even though he is the dad let alone bringing her to us without the mum the family is constantly arguing about it and we don't know own what to do... am I being to harsh on her seeing as I don't have kids? All we want is to bond with our new family member..my mum(the grandmother) is in bits as she can't be a proper nan to her first grandchild
I am exactly the same, my daughter will be 3 in June and I don't let anyone have her at all, anxiety is that bad I go to bed every night and think about things that could of happened through the day, I actually stopped my daughter from walking because I was petrified something would happen to her, it's so hard to explain and it actually makes you physically sick and not being able to breath, I don't know when or whether she will come round but I know in my own experience I can't trust anyone yet although I do trust her father as long as they stay in the house and don't go outside xx
Yes we have tried and she won't even trust the baby's father who also lives with them...we don't know how else to help her
I think anxiety is a very hard illness for everyone involved. She might sound so unreasonable and controlling but to her the thought of trusting someone else with her baby could give her sleepless nights and panic attacks, has anyone tried to sit down and talk calmly about the issue? To try and move on from it. All about little steps for people with anxiety :) xx
I have anxiety and I'm the same way. If you don't have anxiety its hard to understand x
