What's worse? His PTSD is blamed for his yelling or my very real postpartum depression being the cause of mine? We need help but he says counseling is "stupid"

I gave him a pseudo ultimatum, either we go to a family councilor and be committed to it or I have no choice but to leave for the kids. I love him dearly but we both need help with our problems and him saying that therapy is "stupid" because "they can never help with PTSD" is not going to help.

^ Wow, what? Mentally scarred? I think you are being a little too over dramatic.

they're both pretty bad. But what is the worst thing is that there is a poor newborn child in the middle of yall's problems. I work for a psychiatrist and trust me it only gets worse. You both need help IMMEDIATELY.

If he won't go, maybe a little tough love for the sake of the young one?

Maybe you should suck on an AK-47 and unload.

You should give your child up for adoption some he/she doesn't have to be mentally scared from all your fighting.

At least get help for yourself !!!

^^^I have a better idea. Give your child up for adoption so he/she is not mentally scarred from all your fighting and then you two can go "Romeo and Juliet" yourselves. Your baby will never remember you. He/she will be way to busy being cuddled and loved by she/he's new MENTALLY STABLE parents.

^^^wow, that was a b.s. comment. Get help for yourself if he wont', for the sake of your little one(s), If it comes down to leaving him, then it comes down to it, your children shouldn't have to suffer through it. Once your taken care of, then you can figure out where to go from there. Good Luck.

You know what? I live every day with PTSD and it comes from having someone I love shot to death in front of me. Do I create situations where people give me ultimatiums? NO! I live every day as if it were my last because I've seen death and he's ugly! I'm going to enjoy every minute of my life from now on. So your husband's PTSD story just don't jive.
