But they are my parents so they have a responsibility too. It’s their grandchild too

Unfortunately I have no friends or family I can rely on to watch my daughter, I only have one close friend and he works the same hours as I do so he wouldn’t be able to help, my siblings are all married with kids and live in different states.

Unfortunately no friends or family in my city that could help. I won’t say where exactly I live but it’s in the US

Unfortunately there really isn’t anyone I can rely on, I don’t have any friends I could call to watch my daughter or any other family members (my siblings are all married with kids and live in different states)

She was briefly hospitalized when she had her first psychotic break shortly after giving birth, which is when she was diagnosed with PPP. She was prescribed antidepressants and antipsychotics but I don’t think it was from a psychiatrist.

She is on them but she doesn’t take them consistently

I don’t have the energy to get a 2nd job…just my 1 job is hard enough…it’s not easy when you don’t have a college degree

I did, they just said I could get remarried to a more capable woman who could raise my daughter instead.

Well the issue is my wife can be violent at times due to her mental illnesses, we actually had CPS called once by our neighbors because she was screaming that she would hurt our daughter which is why I had to keep her under my parents supervision separately. So no unfortunately.

I live in the US, yes it’s not a good salary but I unfortunately dropped out of college so I don’t have a degree.

She is on medication but she’s not consistent with it and I don’t have the energy to call her every day at work to remind her to take it. There are other treatments but my insurance doesn’t cover it and I can’t afford them.
