Hi Mack
So sorry to hear about the predicament you are in at the moment.
Emotions are raw for both of you at this time, she is scared, you are scared.
You do need to focus on You at this moment , as you have had MH for a period of time, you would be aware that in order to get better you need to focus on yourself, it will make you s stronger and a better person, to be able to support your girlfriend and child in the long run.
The NHS is rather slow but there are other support groups that may be able to assist you.

I am not a counsellor in any shape or form, but I have experienced depression , and now dealing with something that has broken my heart. With the support from peer group it has helped me talk thru my feelings, emotions.
Hi all
Sorry for the slow response. The relationship unfortunately i snot a normal one, there is no reasoning. I have suggested mediation, calm discussion, reasonable planning etc but my OH is only interested in laying blame. Its an absolute dead end.
The drugs can only help in the right environment sadly, and i could not be in a worse environment.

That's not necessarily unusual at the early stage - there will be a lot of resentment on one or both sides, and sometimes this needs to be got into the open before you can hopefully both move past that, or at least come to some understanding.
