So sorry for your health Challenges, firstly I think marriage is for better for worse and the same time your husband should have shown you the best attention u needed during your challenges, now there are some questions u need to ask him before considering getting back, u need to know if he has moved on, u need to ask him why he couldn't stand for u during those challenges. Most women go through this problems after child birth and I usually think one bolt has been lose from their head but the truth is that, child birth no be beans and every mothers needs to be respected for that, just take your time and get back your health. God be with u, I would have written more than this but the best I can do is wish you the best recovery and a sound health in Jesus name

This matter is complicated.
She was diagnosed of the illness after her second delivery according to her. But there's more to it.
Postpartum (Puerperal) psychosis usually results in women who have a history of bipolar disorder. Her parents must have known that she has that issue before marriage. They should've informed the man about it. Unfortunately, some people dismiss it as just "mode swings". It's not just mood swings, it's a dangerous indicator of what is to come. I believe the man has this information that's why he's angry.
It's a pity she's going through this. I wouldn't wish my enemy to go through postpartum psychosis. Thank God she's made it through.
@Op Alooone, you need to find a way to talk to your husband. He probably intends to have more children but the thought of impregnating a wife who's going to be psychotic after birth is extremely difficult to accept. Suicidal tendencies are very high and you know what that means. If the two of you can work it out to be content with the kids you already have, then you should be fine.
Lastly, be prayerful. I mean very prayerful. If you settle it spiritually, trust me, it'll be easier than you can ever imagine.
May God be with you.
And how many people in Nigeria knows psychologists and mental health professionals are there for a reason

Your husband has left you and you are here asking if you should leave him. Did he ask you to come back? He seems to have moved on.

So you want her to be alone for the rest of her life? Or you dont know the children will eventually leave to pursue their own lives? She is also not expected to be in her parents house forever!


Who says she'll be alone? Open your eyes and wake up to reality. Divorced women are getting snapped up into loving relationships and marriages especially if the woman has achieved something with her life and learnt from the past.


And what's so miserable about being alone? Better to be alooone than to stay married to an ignorant and miserable psychopath

I got married to my husband in 2013, we are blessed with 2kids (a boy and a girl)

In 2017, barely 2 weeks after giving birth to our son I was diagnosed with puepurium psychosis. A kind of mental illness that afflicts women that have just given birth and since it has been from one medication to another..

Now since after my diagnosis my husband has been a source of emotional, verbal and physical abuse... He blames my parents for everything as he feels "cheated " feeling that they knew all about my "sickness " before we got married and kept it from him.....

He felt I was a liability and feels he is too young to shoulder such... There was nothing my husband didn't do to frustrate me...

So around June this year I left my home for my father's house and have been there since, now since I have been there my husband hardly calls when he does he wants to speak with his children. He doesn't call my parents to ask about my well-being or that of his kids.

Sometimes I feel abandoned, now the issue is that the love I have for him is beginning to reduce, sometimes I feel like letting him go and starting all over. Other times I want to stay cos I think of my children's future.

As for the psychosis ALL the symptoms have gone as am typing this now I have a job with a small private school and planning to either proceed with my masters or start a nursing programme.

So please I need your advice. Should I let him go?
Since yuo were the one that left for your parents house in the first lace, i would advic you to go back to your husband and submit to him. Watch him and his reaction and we would take up from there

See my sister. You have to be patient. I have the same issue.. Before I got married. I did blood test, I was AA and my wife was AS. She got pregnant and we proceed for marriage. After marriage my wife system begins to change, we go to the hospital for test cos the pregnancy was 7months plus. The doctor told me she was SS. My wife family lied to me with my wife. But today. We are happy with a beautiful girl. I v accepted my faith. I leave all for God. We are happy. My wife is doing well with her job. So pray for your Hubby.. If he leaves you and meet another woman.. With another crisses.. So it's like rain.. Leaving a place cos of rain.. It will rain where ever he goes. Pray and believe.. Although it's your fault. You would v open up. Well it is well

Your husband was obviously a young man when you got married to him...Sorry about what you're going through. I suspect he has moved on from you, it's up to you to be on the same page with him by asking if he wants the marriage to continue or not, make nobody for tie you self down.

adjective good..............bad

comparative form better.........worse (marriage) comparing two outcomes

superlative form best...............worst (e.g the best thing that happened, or the worst thing that happened) chosing the best from three or more

Re: Should I Leave My Husband Or Not? by Ginaruby: 12:14pm On Dec 30, 2019
I am sorry if I insult him but I think I have to be truthful.
That man is a wicked man, how can,he abandon the one he clam he loves in such health state when he is supposed to show more of love and care.

That means if you have a viral or terminal illness he will just kill you.
Please just let him be if he feel you deserve to be loved he will come back but if not let him be.

Don't ever let your parents stoop so low begging him. He should be the one looking for your attention, stop picking his calls.
And your parents should not entertain his presence, he should involve his parents.

You both need to go for therapy and clear his grievance.

You can get medical journals about your condition and connection with child birth, the symptoms and solutions. Also arrange for him to speak with your doctors on the causes, triggers, solutions and after care.

You should also be medically certified that you are fine.

She need to make attempt to fix the marriage first. Are you going to tell the next man that you left your previous marriage due to mental illness? If you dont tell him and he finds out, will he not say he was betrayed just like her husband is saying now? Supposed the new husband want his own kids, would she oblige and risk recurrence? You can see its getting complicated!

Let me tell you something. My second cousin married a wife with this issue. I was a child then but I knew what was happening.

It was my house they always brought her to for prayers. My cousin (her husband) stood by her every step of the way and never loved her less despite her condition. Honestly, this issue brought so much shame to the entire family and some people even adviced him to leave her but he didn't.
He stood with her through it all and even when she insulted him and harassed during her paranoia and hallucinations, he never responded back or abused her.

Today, she is perfectly healthy and they are living happily.

Mind you this happened 4 times.

Thanks he Does'nt want to Hear anything about hospital cos he feels it's spiritual but what pains me is the way he sees my ailment as more or less God-given "excuse " to jump ship


As a medical personnel, I have witnessed quite a number of episodes of this condition. When it starts, the patient say a lot of things especially about her inner fears and things that normally she would not tell anybody. This could be very embarrassing and traumatic for the husband. The sad part of it is that you will not remember what you have said but your husband does and may find it hard to believe that her innocent wife is saying or have done such a thing in the past. A case in point was that a new mother who during her episode said in front of everybody that her husband is fond of impregnating small girls in their neighborhood. The man was so embarrassed that he never visited until she was discharged from hospital.

Peurpural psychosis is more common in women who deliver via cesarean section as some anaesthetic agent triggers it

Whether you leave your husband or not is left to you to decide. Coming to social media does not really help you at this stage.

In the first place why did you get married to him and him to you. If you cannot answer this question then getting married in the first place is not it.

I think you should leave things the way they are, focus on yourself and watch how it goes. Just focus on making money.

It's not like you are in a rush to remarry. Yourself and taking care of the kids should be primary.

Find a means to communicate extensively and emotionally with him.

My sister, marriage is complex. Sometimes parties tend to feel cheated, being lied to, and sometimes blame any eventualities on what they know about others families.

It isn't an institution if it is an easy thing to build. Thus, the public knowledge;marriage is an institution.

Both of you need to visit a psychologist and a marriage counselor.

Google everything you know about the sickness and send the link to him. Visit your fam doc together or a medical expert and seek advice. Get a medical Journal that treat such case and let him read.

Above all, communicate with him at the right time with a diff tone to the ones u have been using.

He might be tired of you on other issues whereas hes just using your former sickness to transfer the aggression.

Ask questions and you would know there is more!

Peace!
