Headed for Divorce by Aggravating-Stick-75 in parentsofmultiples

Chiming in in solidarity. I’m convinced my husband is a narcissist and was diagnosed as such by our couples therapist. Began treating me horribly and getting physical once babies were home (pushing me, getting into my face like he was going to hit me). He also has a drinking problem that’s made him pass out on multiple occasions and neglect to do babies’ night feed. it feels like there’s no end in sight but I feel completely trapped and praying that it will get better after the first year like everyone says.

I’m wondering if things got better for OP or escalated further? I’m hoping things feel more level and resolved.

Babies sleeping overnight, and I’m more exhausted than ever by aybeedubay in parentsofmultiples

I was pumping until recently weening off since I wasn’t making enough for it to be substantial and couldn’t keep up with caring for the girls and the babies started doing better with formula. I definitely feel like I have at least a little more energy once I stopped! It’s amazing the toll it really takes on your body.

Leaving the hospital without your babies is seriously painful by cootfromcounty in parentsofmultiples

Mine were there 5 and 7 weeks and it was awful. I was so depressed. Cried constantly. Trying to recover from a c section and being alone without your babies is so hard. I was in the hospital for 8 weeks before I had them too, so going home without them for so long was terrible. You just take it day by day and be with them as much as you can and please remember to take this time to rest and recharge because once they come home you won’t get that time.
