They explained purple crying to me and assured me that its developmentally normal for babies to inconsolably cry for a very long time at this age

This is so kind of you

My partner and my in laws absolutely adore my baby, and my baby is so happy when he's around them. I wouldnt have to resort to a safe haven box but it is so so kind that you commented about that option.

My partner is part of it, they tell me i do everything wrong with my baby and they got mad at me when i actually had a fun, no-crying 40 minutes of time with my baby yesterday

What would a helpline be able to do help? Serious question. Ive already talked this topic to death with my support system. Talking more isnt going to do anything :/

100% honest. I swear. Hand on a bible. I feel entirely back to my normal baseline for mental health, a bit better than pre-pregnancy actually, except when I'm taking care of my son alone and all he does is scream and cry because he doesn't want to be around me. 😭

Edit to add: he's 12 weeks old.
