We came across this blog post and had to share this beautiful story of one woman’s PPD experience. In it she talks about how she felt around her in-laws, certain they wished their son had married someone else. Turns out her in-laws were much more understanding and loving.
Postpartum depression really does impact the whole family and this post illustrates the importance of family members knowing just what PPD is and then stepping in to support a woman going through it.
Women suffering from PPD are already doubting themselves so much, worrying and feeling guilty. Knowing they have the support of their families can go a long way toward their recovery.
