Is severe animosity torwards your spouse after birth a sign of post partum?
It sounds like it is related to post partum mood swings. Your body just went through a ton of changes. Not only that, your lifestyle is going through a major change right now. It's tough to get used to taking care of a new baby 24/7. Your husband is doing the best he can by financially supporting you. However, I can see why you have some resentment that he is not physically there to help you with the baby. You're somebody's mom now, and you probably don't feel like being somebody's wife, too. I really get that. It doesn't sound like you are depressed, but if you are, you should talk to your doctor. It sounds more like you are adjusting to your new lifestyle. It's normal to feel overwhelmed and take it out on somebody else, especially when your hormones still aren't back to normal. You should talk to your husband about how you feel. I'm sure he has a lot to say, too. Maybe he's feeling guilty that he's not able to spend more time with you and the baby. Nothing is going to improve until you two start communicating.
