Tav 💙 🆘🇺🇸 :
for all the "men" commenting, I want to give you an example of a good husband. after my second child was born, I almost died from postpartum eclampsia. it developed after I gave birth. this went hand in hand with postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD. instead of my husband going on work trips, he communicated with his job that he needed to work remotely until the time my doctors were sure I was stable for both my blood pressure and my mental health. he cancelled trips, told people they could come visit us if they wanted to see him, made sure to take care of not only me, but our kids. took them to appointments. took them shopping. took them on errands. took them with when visiting friends or family. he also helped me monitor my meds, communicated with my doctors, set up appointments, fed me, made sure I was hydrating, and did the coordination between family and friends if he couldn't be there with me to help while I was stabilizing. it took 6 months for my blood pressure to finally regulate, and then I had to deal with the postpartum Anxiety, Depression and OCD because I could not mentally stabilize while dealing with the health issue that almost killed me. it took therapy, medication, and a lot of patience. and I didn't have other issues like bipolar disorder which increases the risk of psychosis at any point. my husband took care of us because he wanted us to be healthy and safe. that is what a good husband does. he doesn't go to New York, San Francisco, on ski trips, vacations, weekend trips, or to brunch when his wife's mental health is extremely precarious. my husband knew more about my children in that year of stabilization than I did. Patrick was not involved the way you think he was. he was barely present, everything happening with her was an annoyance to him. he did not sacrifice his time, he did not give extra effort.
