May, my heart goes out to you.

Our D was a surprise conceived three weeks into our M. I was frightened I would not be a good father. I saw my life changing and out of control when my wife was pregnant with our first. All I could focus on was what I was loosing. I held our little girl and wept for hours the night she was born.

It is probably to simplistic for your sitch, but one of the things that got me through and showed me I could do this was playing/eventually helping with the oldest niece, about 18 months at the time.

Your posts will be slow at first, don’t panic, this is a moderated board and it will take a little while before your posts show quickly. Post often, the people here have been great at offer perspectives, opinions, and the occasional 2X4.

Hang in there.
