I’ve had post natal depression too and yes it is horrific but it didn’t make me behave like that.

Is your son unable to stand up to his partner?

Sounds like postnatal depression or anxiety, I doubt it's because she doesn't trust him more that she's scared something will happen so it's safer at home. I've had it, it's horrific.

Tread gently for now and don't pile the pressure on. She may seek help herself or it might get easier as the baby gets older.

Has anyone else had the same experience. My son is not trusted to take his son out, who is 6 months and not breastfed. He would like to come over to see me with his son. But, his partner wants the baby to be at home and I go visit, while she goes out. I’ve suggested purchasing all the equipment they have. I understand it’s hard to leave a young baby. But my son is a hands on Dad, gets up in the night, helps around house and with his son. He is brilliant. I don’t understand why he isn’t trusted. My son is upset by this. It maybe because his partner does not like me, but it’s not just visiting me. It’s taking him anywhere without her. I’ve never heard of a mum not trusting her partner
