Thank you.

Oh no. I felt sick reading this.

Go outside with the newborn for 3 or 4 hours a day? Wtf?

He has no idea. Do you think he'll try and follow through with this or is he all talk?

I think it's a great idea to set boundaries from the start. It's so much harder to set them after you've already let certain behaviors fly.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this stress when having a baby.

I joined the What to Expect When You're Expecting app and went on the community/ forums. I joined the Overbearing MIL discussion but there are ones for ex-partners and all sorts. It saved me!!! No exaggeration. There are other women going through the same things as you. They will be super supportive, share advice and ask questions for each other to answer on dealing with all of this behavior. I got great tips, advice, support, and a place to rant. I cannot recommend it enough. I'm sure there are many other forums similar to this too.

I wish you luck. Hopefully, this won't be as difficult for you as it was for me. Also, feel free to reach out to me on Medium or Instagram if you want to talk. You got this!!!!!
