Hello Whiplash - you may or may not read this message, but I just wanted to say that I guess you'll have a very cheeky, busy nearly 6year old? Well done for getting this far.I hope your wife is ok now. You both had a traumatic time when your son was born, and its ok to feel how you felt. We all have a plan of how we would like to give birth and when it doesn't work out how we would like, its a shock. I speak from experience after my son was born. Always keep communicating with each other and don't be afraid to seek help on parenting issues. There is lots of help and guidance out there. Fegans is a great charity which offers lots of helpful tips, as well as another charity called Care For The Family - both of which you can google. Keep up the good work! Best wishes, Fegans Parent Support Volunteer.
