Im 23 years old and expecting my first baby april 12th 2013, my partner and I have been living in my studio appartment for 6 months and received some bad news that he is going to prison for minimum of three months. Unfortunately for us that falls over the same time frame our little boy is due :(
He is not a bad person, the past had just caught up with him and unfortunately we are finding it very hard to deal with. Like most men, it's a mission to get any sort of emotional conversation out of him about his views, thoughts and feelings!
Where this leaves me an emotional ship wreck. I blame myself for everything due to being used to being blamed for everything in the past, not to mention I am very stubborn and hard on myself to be the best I can.
I try to do anything to keep my partner happy because of this sentence hanging over his head but I feel like its not good enough, he still isn't happy, and I'm finding myself blaming me.... Who else could it be, I'm always around and he has completely cut off and social activity with the outside world. What can I do to help him/us until he is put in??
I'm trying to stay positive but as reality stands its so damn hard. I don't know whether to come or go, laugh or cry, leave him to his own thoughts or to enforce positive thoughts ( which in turn.could make him feeling like I'm living in dream land and not being a realist) or what to do!
I feel so alone when I'm not, so confused when I know what I need to do yet it's too hard, I am pushing my family n all my friends away and now I'm seeking help before its too late.
Am I being rediculous??
Does this sound silly???
Does anyone have similar stories??? Advice???
