There are two different things here: 1. post partum depression that's a purely brain chemical thing,  and 2.  anger and frustration at a situation you wish would change.

It sounds like you have #2,  reasonable anger and frustration.  

I think you are too close to this situation to see it for what it is,  sara.  This guy is not going to suddenly change and become attentive.  

It seems your choices are to be fine with the little bit of attention you get from him,  or you should move on.

Saramay, he's been like this since you began posting.  I don't think it is going to change.  He also has no reason to change because you don't hold him to any boundaries.  You take him just as he is and feel sad all the time.  Life HAS to have more to offer than this.  good luck

Hi sara
I had the same experience when my 1 doughter was born
It was hard for me as well but there is nothing u can do with that exept try and get used to the fact that he need the sleep if he works nights/days. On his days off tell him how u feel and hopefully he can try and spend more time with u and the baby.
